I was actually hoping for someone to say that! I ride on tarmac that's close-to-perfect 90% of the time. I am not a heavy rider, the pressure is good, etc. In short, very good conditions to get the best lifespan out of them.

At 3500kms, your rear one hasn't squared off? If you rub your finger from a sidewall to another, you feel it perfectly round?

I still have a lot of rubber left, they're not shot, but the rear one isn't round anymore.
