Tires really aren't "supposed to be good" for 40K miles. It really depends on your tire choice and driving style. What type of Toyo tire were you using? All-season? Summer? It is true that a lot of the softer "performance" compounds don't give you the treadlife that you might have expected. The tradeoff is usually better handling & traction.
Personally I don't expect anything more than 30,000 miles out of my summer performance tires, as a city driver I only put about 6K miles on in a year and all those miles are pretty aggressive city driving.
