I've been buying Michlein tires.

I bought one set seven years ago and they last about 30K before the tread
starts to separate. I've been getting free replacement Michlein tires
ever since for an adjustment price of about ten to twelve bucks a tire. I
drive in back woods and in very rocky terrain and no tire is going to
hold up. They sure get noisy when the tread gets a little loose, it's
easy to tell when to go back to the tire store for another free set.

Lets see.... four times seventy eight dollars is about $320.00 and all in
all I've gotten about four or six sets of tires over seven years to go
160K miles. I figure $48.00 every year for a full set of tires is a great
deal. I think I'm stickin with the guy giving me the best warranty.
