What is the most miles you ever got out of a set of 4 tires?
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

We just put new tires on our Chevy Equinox, the original tires had a little over 65,000 on them. Tire mileage now days is way better than when I first started driving in 1961. My dad put retreads on his cars and I doubt they lasted for more than 5,000 miles. back in those days most of the township roads were still dirt roads and it was a common occurrence to get flat tires. I haven't had a flat tire for over 30 years. In fact, I do not recall the last time I had a flat tire, I would guess sometime in the 1980's.

I was on my way home from neurologist appointment and my 13 year old sent me a picture of my truck with flat front driver side tire. Thought I woul air it up and drive it over for road hazard but the air thingy was not to be found. My younges was out with his sister at tha point and picked a new one up but didn't know there were so many different shape quick conect fittings and got the wrong one. After I went to 2 stores I was so happy to find the right shape I didnt pay attention to the other end being female and I needed male so had to make a 2nd trip. . Its always something.

My experience with tires seems to take into account how aggressive the tread is. The more aggressive the tread, the poorer the mileage. They seem to wear out faster. I've been leaning more toward the all season tires.
There was this bar that was so rough they checked you for a gun and if you didn't have one, they gave you one.
