Mileage I haven't checked, gut feeling says great, having looked at them last saturday, there seems like hardly any wear on the fronts after 10,000 miles, mostly motorway/autoroute driving, I'll dig out the fitting date and check depths front and rear next w/e when I'm home, working away this week.... doing more miles!!! I should say that having recently replaced the shocks (bilstein B4s) and subframe bushes with poly (poly all round on suspension and gearbox mount) the steering is pin sharp and the ride fantastic again, you just don't realize how bad the roadholding gets over the life of the components until you replace all.
I don't use the speedo much as the gps is very accurate and I'm always on the lookout for speed cameras, currently working in Dorset where there seems to be a camera every mile or so, Ive already picked up on ticket for which I opted for the "driver safety awareness course" - they certainly don't like being challenged on the location of the so-called "safety cameras", they should be called "revenue cameras"!!! I'm sure you will get my feelings on those... but I digress.
I have tried several tyres over the 2 9-5s from different michelins, pirelli Pzero rosso, goodyear Eagle F1, continentals (best so far) except for these Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetrics - really good tyre in my experience, quiet, grippy in wet (essential for UK) and dry (France :-)), and a comfortable ride.
I remember being in Canada BC with a past girlfriend in her 6.6litre Transam - black with a gold bird on the bonnet - cruising the summer away from Kelowna to Van and points north and south from Van - aahh, memories...
