My experience with tires here in the Pittsburgh area is I get about 1/2 of a mfr's tire mileage claim. I was going to make a snarky comment about the easier conditions of sunny CA for tire wear, but it seems you're not doing any better than I would.
Since your long-term cars rarely need to have their tires replaced, any comments on how you'd handle a 70k tire wearing out at 35k miles? I've only once attempted to claim foul on tires that wore out (13k miles vs 65k warranty), and got decent credit toward replacement tires.
As far as getting a pro-rated credit, the tires CANNOT be original equipment tires. They must be tires you purchased after the OEM have worn out. I tried many mileage claims for OEM tires and each manufacturer denied them because they were OEM tires.
