^^ you dropped those

Anyway, I'm averaging 1 year and 25,000 miles per set of tires. Buy from discount tire and you get the rest of the tread mileage guarantee prorated on to your next tires. I got my current tires at about half off since they lasted 25,000 miles out of the 60,000 warranty. Plus they do free rotating and balancing. I found my tires last a lot longer if I balance as well as rotate every 5k instead of just rotating.
