I got about 30k mi on my OEM KDW.
Never had a balance problem - they were always perfect in that regard.
However, the noise was terrible, and the wet traction started to suck when I had less than 3/16 left.
When new, however, they were awesome. Maybe a little loud, but grip was astounding, something I cannot say about my AVS ES100s.
