Does 85,946 miles on set of tires sound about right?
I recently traded in my 03 MINI and the tires that were on there only lasted 85,946 miles. They were due to be rotated one more time but I said let the dealer take care of that for not offering me more money. The tires were Goodyear Assurance M/S P195/60R15 87H. I still think I could have gotten another 10,000 miles out of those tires.

There are three Assurance tires in that size and speed rating:
GY Assurance ComforTred Touring (Grand Touring all season tire)
$107 each 740 treadwear

Decent tire, better in dry than in wet.
GY Assurance Fuel Max (Passenger All Season tire)
$84 each, 580 treadwear (my guess- this is your tire)

A good ecotire, not very good on handling though esp in wet.
GY Assurance TripleTred All Season (Passenger All Season tire)
$119 each, 740 treadwear
There are also many other tires that could last as long if driven well-

Wow - that's a lot of miles! My wife's Toyota Paseo got 80,000 miles on her fronts and 88,000 miles on the rears, but she drove a mile to the freeway and the 55 miles each way to work and back for five years. The tire guys were really impressed she got that many miles out of the original tires.
