I usually get beyond tread wear warranty. I've run two sets of Michelin HydroEdge tires to 80K miles on my 2001 Accord, same distance as the OEM Michelins.
The Michelin Defenders that are on the car now have a bit over 30K on them and they have worn out 4/32" of the original 10/32" leaving 6/32" of tread depth. I've used about 1/32" per 7500 miles which means I'll be down to the wear bars at 2/32" around 60K miles at the rate the first 4/32" wore away.
Unless decreased tread depth dramatically slows the wear rate, I'm not on track to make it to the 90K warranty on these tires. Rotations have been on schedule and all tires are wearing perfectly evenly.
Does tread wear slow enough as the tread gets shallower that I might make it to the mileage warranty?
