3K is pretty darn good in my book. I check my tires frequently for wear and picking out bits that are stuck in them. When I start to see cracks that's my indicator that a new tire is needed, and I almost never get a flat. My last flat was about 3 years ago - a tedious experience that I do not wish to repeat. Crossing my fingers for this season, and what a season it's starting out to be! Sunny and dry here in Eugene.
