You can get good mileage wear on tires by your driving habits, keeping them properly inflated, rotated, and balanced. Sadly so many folks assume that the UTQG rating is a "gods word it will last like we say it will last". Proper care will make tires outlast the general specifications every time. Have installed tires for years, amongst other things, and time and time again can tell you stories about folks that care for vs folks that do not care for the tires.
As a general guide, go ahead with your stat hunt, 500+ AA and A. Please dont consider a lower grade on temp, as that can be a sinker when it comes to driving longer distances, especially under heavy loads.
Have had good luck with Goodyear Allegra tires, 3 sets worth on different vehicles.
Have decent luck with Mastercraft tires, 2 sets same vehicle.
Looking forward to checking out some Bridgestones in the future.
