I had several class 8 trucks at one time. With up to 10 tires per unit, they were by far the most expensive vehicles for tires.
What is the most you have spent on a set of tires?

A set of Michelins in the late 90s.$140 a tire and the tread started going out of round at 12k miles. Rotated them had an alignment when they were installed and they refused to honor the warranty on the two that were bad. Don't think I'll ever buy Michelins again. Haven't since.

How? With great planning and rotation.
I watch my tires wear to keep ontop of rotation and inflation. Then run them untill they are about 3-2/32
My father in law says he has never met any one who gets longer tire life than me.
I suppose thats a good thing.
Everybody I know has their tires wear out evenly too with the rare exception (staggered setups.) All my tires are rotated every oil change (~5K miles) and have exactly the same tread. I read about people that never rotate tires because the "rear tires go out-of-shape and oval over time" and would rather rotate the rear tires to the front when their front tires wear out.

About $2400 for staggered 20".
$1300 for the Bridgestone Duelers for the RV.
$1300ish for PSS's on a 370Z. Sold my Z06 before they were due, but that would have been around $2K.
900 for 4 Bridgestone Blizzak ws-80s for the Veloster
$700 for the Mustang. Cost more than a set of 32" all terrains for the Xterra
Not for me personally, but I just priced out a set of 21" Pirelli PZero RSC for a new X3. Was $5500!
$800 for a worthless set of Michelin LTX's... that I took off early and sold on craigslist to some fool.
Most expensive and most disappointing tire purchase ever. So little traction, that the ABS couldn't even kick in to help me avoid an accident.

A little over $800 for a set of Michelin LTX M/S2s. They seem to ride and handle fine, but it looks like I will be buying tires again at about the 40,000 mile mark. No more Michelins for me. I'm looking pretty hard at Ironman tires. I have a brand new set on my F-150 4X4. All Country A/T. They are all terrain tires, but are also designated as all season tires. I read through about 250 reviews. I believe the overall score was at least 4.5 out of 5. Very few complaints.. No complaints about their performance in snow. They ride and handle about like a set of Michelins, and have very little road noise. Not at all annoying. Will need new tires in about a year to replace the stinking Michelins on the 4X2, and I am almost certain I will go with Ironman Radial A/P. A little over $400 a set, and I have read that they will run about 50 to 60 thousand miles. I don't like buying stuff made in China, but it's the best option I have found.
The most I've spent on tires is $0.00 I have 2 cars. One I just got, and another with all my tires given to me with fairly decent tread.

What? How? I'm genuinely curious.
That is just how much they cost. The run flat PZero are crazy expensive, and you are lucky to get 20k out of them.

Just bought winter tires for my 2019 JGC.
$1300 for 4 Hakka 9s with studs.
Mopar steel rims extra, but a relative steal at $75 each.

Who do you work for?? A quick search on Canadian Tire gave me this.

Man, some of you guys pay really wicked prices.
About 1700 dollars for four Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's in 275/35/20 with all the bells and whistles from the dealer. They meet any price, even online.
