That's a Michelin for You.  You have no worries. 
How did you ever get that kind of mileage out of a tire....any tire?
When I bought my new 2005 r/c short bed 2wd Dodge truck, I was happy that it came with Michelins as I had always heard how may miles everyone got out of them. Yeah right....26,000 on them and they were worn out and out of round.  They were kept properly inflated and rotated every 6,000 miles, truck sat in a dark garage when it wasn't driven. Don't know how I could have taken any better care of them. I got about the same mileage out of the Generals I put on it next. The next set was 10 p/r Continentals. I think they would have lasted better but I sold the truck when they had about 12k on them.
I think my 2012 Ram 4x4 had GoodYear tires on it from the factory, they didn't last 30k either. I am now alternating between a set of rough tread 10 plys for the winter and a set of less agressive 10 plys for the summer. I'm hoping for longer life but am skeptical right now.
At least 99% (or more) of my driving is on pavement, maybe I don't slow enough for the corners??
