I put a pair of Michelin Harmony's on my 2000 at 35K and they still
look new 59K. They get rotated every 5K with a later pair of the same.
In fact, I can't tell which pair is which and there is 10K difference
in mileage. The key is rotation, rotation, rotation. My tire dealer
strongly suggested the 5K rotation and he does it for free for his
customers. They are a small privately owned, tires only, no frills
shop with a huge following. It's a pleasure to do business with these
people.
