I can roach a set of economy tires in 20k but I slide through four ramps a day if there's no traffic. I can see someone in something modern that has 3x the power, 1.5 the weight and takes a way softer lower profile tire roaching them in less.

Lower profile rims also beat up tires way harder if you drive hard because the lack of sidewall flex lets you put more force to the ground which has to go through the tread of the tire to get there.

Modern tires for modern cars also bias toward soft and high wearing because there's pretty much no other way to keep higher end vehicles stuck to the ground with the power to weight they're making these days.
