For context, on our 2016 FWD, we are at 51k miles, 3.5 years, on NEXEN Roadian GTX. They‘ll be at the 2/32” mark at the next oil change and be replaced. We’ve been very satisfied with their performance in all driving condition. These tires give decent gas mileage, not too much road noise, and have had all the traction we‘ve needed.

Why do you prefer premium or mid-grade tires? What makes the $50+ increase per tire worth it?
