161,323 miles.
America's Tire on Hamilton at Bascom.
I previously had the Michelin Latitude Tour tires, which served us very well. They were rated for 65k miles, but I got 75k out of them (installed at 85,822 miles, 8 years ago). I would have gone Michelin again this time, except that I am not driving as much as I did previously and am probably averaging only 5k miles per year, instead of 10k.
So this time I went with a less expensive tire, the Phantom A/P 235/70 R16 for $108/ea (compared to $183/ea for Michelin). I also got the add-on certificates to cover the tires if anything should go wrong with them. Total out the door was $618.21. America's Tire has always treated us well over the years, and has plugged tires on three of our vehicles for no charge, even when the tires were not purchased from them.
So far the tires look great and have performed as expected. We averaged 30 MPG on the first road trip with the new tires (up to Tahoe and back). I didn't notice any difference in the ride and handling compared to the previous tires.
