Just too many variables to generalize really... Gravel road / driveway? Off road use? Extreme heat / cold? Miles? Speed? Poor road conditions?Curvy roads? Weight of vehicle? ... But if I HAD to guess - I would say 50K is probably decent for a mid-price tire and 'normal' driving. ------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

I'll get about 60k out of the Michelin LTX that came on my Ridgeline and will have a couple 32nds wear left when I replace. ________________________ God spelled backwards is dog | |||

I'll need new tires for my truck soon (2500HD) Last set I bought were rated at 55K, currently have a tad more than that on them (~56K). In the past, I've had vehicles 3-4 years so sell them before I've worn a set of tires, this is the first set of tires I've worn out. | |||

I just hit 80K on the Firestone Destination A/Ts that were OEM on my 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk. It helps that they're A/T tires, of course, but I'm a "spirited" driver, so that has to offset some of the advantage. Not to the wear bars yet, but I'll likely replace them before the winter weather comes again. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

Driving habits, roads and maintenance are contributing factors to tire wear. Rotate every 5-7K miles, check air pressure and alignment. I ran a set of Hankook on my Escort and last I heard they had about 100K on them, cost $21.00 ea! The only vehicle I check mileage on is my Rubicon and I still have some life left with 30K on my 35" MTs. As a general rule, when tires are 50% worn they have 75% tread life left. Early on they tend to scrub off. ________________________________ "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

07 Tundra with 196k. On its 3rd set of BFG Rugged Trails with about 50k on them. Probably 15-20k left I would estimate. | |||

The best I have ever done was 119,000 miles on Michelin MXv3's we had on a 1996 Honda Accord. They were primarily highway miles and I rotated/balanced every 10k miles. I am also a nut about checking the tire inflation. | |||

My last set of Nitto Motivos were rated for 60k, I got 14k out of them. I don't really expect the replacements to do any better. My Jeep on the other hand seems to wear well, but I replace those tires earlier than necessary to maintain off road traction. "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." | |||

95K miles, 5.5 years on OEM set of Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires on my 2012 Chevy Cruze Eco. New set is also same since I was very impressed with this tire. Great traction in snow, ice, rain. | |||

I would not shoot for tires with the most highest "mile" rating myself. But it's all relative to the car, the shocks, the roads you're driving on - who's driving, etc. etc. -------------------- I like Sigs and HK's, and maybe Glocks | |||

I use the General Grabbers on my wife's midsize SUV too. They're not expensive, they ride quiet, and they last long enough. I like them. But for my F150 baby, Michelin only. Eric the Car Guy, an automotive expert on the internet, calls himself a "Tire Snob", and I thought if you had to be a snob, that's a good cause, since the tires are the ONLY interface between your vehicle and the ground, and the effectiveness of everything you do behind the wheel, is determined in the end by your tires.

You might want to provide more information to the OP. I just bought a set of Defenders for our Odyssey as they were top-rated by Tire Rack. They are very quiet, they have a good guarantee. Please do share what secret knowledge you have. Here's Consumer Reports' bottom line:

For me, it was purely a cost issue. To get the Michelins at a good price I'd have to rejoin Costco as well. Plus, the roads in Philly are worse than ever. Literally. My first set of Grabbers had one bum tire which always made a faint thup-thup-thup-thup-thup when coasting to a stop. I've heard horror stories of all four out of round. This set is perfect but I did find out yesterday that two rims are slightly out of true. NBD if they stay on the rear.  | |||

Got almost 60K miles on set of Cooper AT3 Discoverers on an 11 Tacoma. | |||

So many factors, so many different tires. I got 35k on the OEM Bridgestones on my Outback, and ths tire wasn't all that great. Replaced with Michelins and almost doubled my mileage. Wife's Forrester got 30k on her Yokos, but she only drives 10k per year. The Yokos on her car stick like glue in all conditions, so the price hit is easier to take. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||
