The original rear tire on my Sportster lasted close to 20,000 miles. It 
was a Dunlop tire often referred to by Sportster riders as Dunrocks. Great 
tread life, not so great traction. I replaced them with Bridgestone 
Spitfires. I only got 8,000 miles on the rear but the miles were more 
fun :)

In the US manufacturers game the EPA fleet mileage requirements by 
installing low rolling resistance tires. You can get LRR tires with 
compounds that increase tire life but they cost more. The Yaris is 
Toyota's cheapest model so the OEM tires aren't premium. Toyota must have 
gotten a good deal because the first one had Bridgestone Potenzas which 
are usually sold as a performance tire. They are not optimized for long 
life.
