How long do your tires last?
My 2022 SL55 is my daily driver, about 20 miles each day. I’ve had it now for 2 years, pretty easy on it when driving.
For the Service B they said front drivers tire is 2/32 and front passenger tire is 3/32, both rears are 6/32. I have 11k miles on it, stock tires and the 20” wheels.
What are you guys seeing for tire life? My wife has a Tesla Y and everyone said to expect to go through tires quickly in that but we have 40k miles on it with another 10k or so before they need replacement.

That's normal. With my lighter C63S coupe I get about 8k miles out of the fronts and a bit more out of the rears surprisingly, but I do drive spirited and take it out to the canyons around here. I don't daily drive, though, but drive about 4-5k miles per year. The aggressive camber in the front on AMGs will wear the inner edge of the front tires more. It's a known "issue". Summer performance tires are softer and have much shorter tread life. Not sure what they put on a Model Y these days and if your wife doesn't constantly floor it off the line, then tire wear isn't as bad as some make it out for EVs. The instant torque of EVs can be hard on tires, but only if you constantly peel out from a stop.

all depends on what brand and model tire as each has different mileage rating aka WEAR factor.
But your 11k miles is crazy for tire replacement time.
Do you drive like a race driver?
Are they evenly worn across tread that is same tread depth across width of tire??
Wonder if you need a good PROPER alignment?

Those tires weren’t even close to replacement after 20k miles. That’s why I’m shocked these are done.
