I agree with gd1418, I guess besides the 5K schedule you should also keep tab of any drift.

In case car hits a pot hole or stone, make sure you get the alignment and camber adjusted.

My indica has done 35K with the second set of tyres and good for another 25K. I religiously get the alignment and rotation done at every 5K km.

All the tryes are wearing of evenly. Also keep the check on the air pressure.
