Anyway, I rotate mine every 1,000 miles and I expect to get at least another 1500 miles out of them.

Someone on here said they had 6,000 miles on their marathons and they looked brand new. Maybe they were lying?
Wait. Your math doesn't make sense. Are you saying you move your front tire to the back and vice versa multiple times during their life? Sheldon recommends always having the good tire on the front. When the rear one wears out it, it goes in the trash, front one goes on the back, new one goes on the front. Ride and repeat. If I'm interpreting your post right, you are, at times, putting the more worn tire in the front. Potentially a bad move.
