Thinking about this from a "Resource use" point of view...
Would it not be more suitable to get a set of part worn tyres for circa $100-200 and get 20,000 miles, then do it again?
That way your costs are 1/2 that of new tyres, and you get the same mileage from the tyres. Cost of slightly lowe MPG if they are not LRR would be offset by savings
They're "Scrubbed in" so no major drop off in FE once the "new" tyres are fitted
You've reused 2 sets of tyre, rather than buying a new set-with the additional oil etc involved
Just thinking about this from a different perspective!
If you think about it, folk are happy with buying 2nd hand cars that sit on "used tyres" and dont give it a second thought..
