Aside from qualities specific to a particular model of tire, there are a lot of factors that affect tire wear: rider weight, riding style (skidding, hard cornering), riding in wet/cold/hot weather, etc. The front tire typically lasts much longer than the rear. People I know who ride tandems are happy to get more than 1000 miles out of a rear.
Personally, I almost never wear out tires because I change from one to the next more out of curiosity or changing applications or preemptive maintenance than because a tire is worn out.
