Is this mileage acceptable wear?

I am now looking for replacement tire, I need something low cost, and something reasonable to ride on. I only really ride too and from work on the bike which is 116km per day on the motorway.
Anyone got any ideas.
I spoke to Cycle treads, they said it would be $330 fitted for another Bridgestone, and $350 for a Michelin.
I priced elsewhere and was priced considerably more, $470 in fact.... Prices vary a bit...
Think you have done ok on that set. My Daytona had the same on when i brought it new and i managed about 12500k on them, so they were an ok tyre. I now have a set of Michellon Pilot road 2 on and they are fan bloody tastic to be fair. I've done about 13000k on them including a couple of track days in there and they are still goin real well. Grip in wet was great and in the dry, perfect.
Yea, i say go for the Miche's.
