Mileage from your Pirelli PZeros
My car just hit 19,000 miles and the factory PZeros are already worn out. Ive never done standing burn outs or anything like that. I don't drive the car like a grandma but by no means have abused it either.
I am assuming ford used really soft (and cheap!) compound for these tires.
Anyone else?

Go look up the reviews and data on discounttire.com and tirerack.com
The best set of tires I ever owned lasted about 10k miles.

What size? Which PZeros? I'm curious...
The just taken off PZero Nero M+S 235/55 R17s got 37K miles on them. They were *well* done, but hey, I got max life outta them. 5000 miles rotated on the button, 32 PSI, reasonable driving with lots of 'gettheheckuptothespeedlimitquickly-itis' and a few power shifts here and there.
Of course, this is on a 2006 Mustang GT, not a 2010 or 2011, so I dunno if that is any help to anyone. If it's not, well, I apologize.
/The 77K start on these is... weird, so I'm gonna rotate them at 80K and go on from there. Makes it easy, oil and tires, swap 'em!

I have just hit 40,000 miles on my P Zero Nero all-seasons and will be replacing them soon. Others who have the Brembo package have empirically reported less distance. I rotate every 5000 miles and use 32 PSI in all 4 tires. My car is a daily driver, no burnouts, "spirited acceleration and corner taking".

Wife got 34k down to the wear bars on her P-Zero Nero 18's on her 2011 GT Premium coupe. Tires regularly rotated and set to proper pressure at every dealer oil change.
I was very happy to avoid the 650-750$ replacement cost of a new set of 4 by luck of getting a set of BF Goodrich all season M+S V rated radials (over 260ea brand new) second hand with less than 10k on them for 250$ complete set. 2 of them still have the thin rubber 'hairs' sticking out of the sidewalls you see and brand new tires. So hooray for me!!! Life was bad, but now it's good, forever!

Thought I read/heard somewhere that the Brembo package came with the softer, summer only PZeros...? If that's the case, what is the treadwear rating on the sidewall ? My original PZeros have long been recycled but I'm sure there are plenty of ways to verify what the non-summer version treadwear rating is.

The Brembo-Pack cars all came with 19" Pirelli PZero Tires.
According to Tire Rack, they have a 220 Treadwear rating, and replacement cost is $353 each.
The standard Tire is the Pirelli PZero Nero All-Season
Those Tires have a treadwear rating of 400, and a replacement cost of $160 each.
Getting 20-25k miles from a 220 Treadwear rated tire is about all to be expected. It is a real soft compound meant for great traction on the street and track.
The All-season's tend to get about 30-35k miles before needing replacement.
