The DWS06 is overall a good all seasons tire, just wondering how many miles have you guys gotten out of them.

I'm just over 32k on them in about 18 months and all 4 are down to the D tread indicator.

I'm at 25,000, I'm pretty sure that I still have a bit of the S left on it. I also have 18 inch wheels.
My Michelin Pilot sports AS3's were down to 2mm at 22,000 miles, so I'm still doing better than that.

It ain't the tire...

More than 4000 pounds of pork. Lotsa torque no matter which motor it is. Literally Autobahnen braking capacity. And so on.

On my D3 W12 I could only get just past 20K on high performance/quality summers, and barely to 30K on top A/S's. S8 is too new for me yet, but I am real world up > 100HP on D4 S8, and weight is still about the same. As in, D4 in whatever flavor got yet more porky than its D3 comparison model.

Then thing I do see in your tire pic is a bit too much pressure over life of tire. Center seems worn slightly more, at least in that pic. If anything Audi FWD bias and pig heavy front ends with motor completely in front of axle line are more likely to scrub the edges, at least in front. I would back it down a few PSI. One of those things it takes a set or so to fine tune wear wise on any new ride.

I noticed that too the PSI part,, for some reason dealer set them all 4 at 40psi when it was in for brake fluid flush and tires rebalancing.... i know i had them at 36 front and 34 back

More data and DWS06 mentions in this recent D3 thread too: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-...dsw06-2949083/

I am at 24k, and I think my tires are pretty much gone. How do you properly measure the tread on these?

You measure the tread same as any other tire! Nothing special. The old penny trick still works.
