FWIW, I swapped my Compass Babyshoe Pass EL (650B x 42mm) for a new pair at over 9,000 km, not because they were threadbare but because I felt safer without the cuts in the center of the tread that had accumulated over the distance. I have also used the standard BSP (non-EL) for about 4,000 km and they have plenty of wear left (I went back to the EL).
Both the BSP and the BSP EL are fantastic tires, worth every cent in my opinion: Very supple and fast, but with minimal puncture risk. I've had two punctures in 17,500 km / 30 months.
