75-80 wheel installations is not a ludicrous lifespan for a economy car...

If responsibly done, tire rotations count in there as well, which can be up to 2-3 times per year. Add in one extra for winter rubber (at least in the northern zones) and you have 4 tire changes per year. That means that we will wear out the studs after 18 years--Wait, nevermind, thats totally reasonable.
