on edit - I realize the answer to these questions will vary a lot depending on how you drive, whether it be aggressively spinning the tires or cruising around like a grandma. I will be doing mostly highway cruising to work, so I should be able to get on the high side of the range.
I don't know! I always trade my car in on a new one when I need new tires! LOL! Seriously. (Maybe it's a chick thing)!

The distance you can drive on your tires has a direct relationship to the quality of the potholes you do not see.

I'll settle for 40k on tires, the problem is that'll set me up for new tires about every year anna half. I do 115 miles on a to/from with work myself so i never had tires last all that long compared to the average driver.I try to hopefully time new tires (with my prev trucks) with a upcoming winter driving season. Now with the SS as my daily driver i'm really thinking about biting the bullet and go with winter rims/tires and switch out for the changing seasons (and will prob give the illusion that my tires are lasting longer since i'll hopefully have 2 sets LOL)

Go to grocery store. Buy jar of mayonnaise. Put in cupboard for 5 years. Eat. Report back to us (if you can) on how that went for you.

As a boat owner. A trailer tires get maybe 50 miles a year or less. Those tires need to be replaced every 5-6 years.
