78.00 dollars doesn't sound that bad for the Yoko's. I work at a retail tire center and my average price for that tire is about 80.00 dollars. As far as the tire wearing fast...tires don't normally wear out due to a defect in the tire. If a tire lasts 40,000 miles instead of the 60,000 mile warr chances are the driver didn't have the tires rotated, balanced, aligned, and pressure checked at proper intervals. The BFG Touring T/A is a decent tire also, but it doesn't come with a milage warr(not that that is necessarilly a bad thing). If you take care of your tires, even some of the cheapest ones, they should last the warranty period. Here is a common misunderstanding about milage warranties. Alot of people are under the assumption that when their tires need to be replaced they can get an adjustment on their old tires because they didn't make it the stated milage warr...that's not the case. Here is how it works: If a defect(belt seperation, sidewall sep) occurrs during the milage period it is adjusted usually by tread depth. If the tires wear down to 2/32nds of an inch evenly across the tire, and it's not due to any kind mechanical problem, then you get an adjustment based on milage. Most people change their tires when they're worn down to 3 or 4/32nds of tread.
