Quick answer - really a very small amount!
More detailed answer is that it really depends on so many factors, such as tyre size, make, compound, suspension geometry, mass of the vehicle, surface type driven over (e.g. concrete, Glassphalt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glassphalt) , Assphalt etc etc.)
But if you were after a very simple average of wear over the life span of the vehicle, you could calculate this. Example:
Total Distance traveled that tyre lasts for (D) = 10,000km or 10,000,000m
Rolling circumference of a 205/55/15 Tyre (C) = 1850 mm or 1.85m
Number of Rotations (N) = D/C = 10,000,000m / 1.85m = 5,405,405.4 Revolutions
Tyre tread depth inital say = 7mm
End Tread Depth = 1.6mm (legal minimum)
Tread wear = 5.4mm
This means in one revolution 9.99e-7mm of rubber is removed from the tyre.
