My 2 cents, I've gotten great life out of both Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice tires (40,000+kms on the set), as well as Toyo Garit HTs(going on 30,000 kms). The Garits fall into the 'performance' category and still look almost new, where the Goodyears are a more all round tire and still had great tread depth and grip when I removed them (poor wear pattern due to bad wheel bearing). Better life out of both of those than either my previous Blizzaks or BF Goodrich Winter Slaloms.
