I only drive about 8,000 kms per year, so I shouldn't be complaining too much about tread life. If I was keeping this vehicle long term I would likely go for something higher end from Costco with some form of tread life warranty. But seeing as I only have plans on keeping her until July 2020, my only concern is up front cost, performance, and have good amount of tread life when I trade her in. I don't want to get low balled for trade in value because my vehicle needs new tires.
