You know what would be good? MAybe a poll showing which tires hypermillers are using, and the sizes.

And the mileage that you're getting out of a set of tires, with about 3/32nds tread remaining; mileage, not mpg.

Running my stock Goodyears still. Almost 16K miles and just over 8/32nds remaining on all 4 tires.

If that's in place then the owner's driving conditions and local weather patterns should be polled as well. Folks living in the Great Plains will have longer tire life than someone that drives twisting hills or mountains, and someone that lives in an area with more consistent temperatures will get better longevity than someone that lives in an area with large thermal deltas.

A common tread measurement system would need to be in place as well... perhaps the quarter test.

:sigh:

Or just keep it simple:

Hi, I bought this tire, I run this psi, and I'm gettin near the tread wear bar (3/32nds), here's how many miles I got out of the set.

A lot less simplified than your $120.00 starter theory. You figured wholesale DIY average, only. What about the non-DIYer, wrecker fee, labor, retail pricing, lodging, a person living in NYC won't pay the same price as the person living in Little Rock, etc...those adjustments need to be added in for any that didn't decide to DIY.
