Re: Tire Wear
If you want long life and are ok with terrible performance from an all-season set in the snow, ice, and heavy rain, my Yokohama Advan S4's have lasted much longer than any set I've had before. Just don't expect to go anywhere if it snows more than an inch or the road is icy, even a little.
Other than that, I used to get about 14,000-19,000 out of my tires before they were dangerously close to giving out. The Crossfire is not nice to those rear tires.
