    I have just under 50K on the original Toyo tires. I was going to replace them last winter but I couldn't get the tires I wanted. I do not want to cheap out on tires. I think I want the 80,000 mile tires but would consider 60,000 rubber.

    ContinentalTrueContact Tour195 /65 R15 91T SL BSW $125 per tire 80K tire
    ContinentalContiProContactP 195 /65 R15 89S SL BSW TM $112 per tire 80K tire
    ContinentalContiProContact195 /65 R15 91H SL BSW VM $110 per tire 60K tire
    ContinentalContiProContact195 /65 R15 91H SL BSW FO $113 per tire 60K tire

    There is a $110 rebate on top of a set of 4 tires.

    Of the 4 choices, which one is my best option?

    I just put Hankook Kinergy PTs on mine.
    Had run the EP422s that were OEM for several replacements, total of five sets. They got great MPG (avg 55-58) and lasted 68-70k miles a set (save one I "experimented" with rotation) but they are now a $170 tire.
    Got the Hankooks at Midas on a "buy 3, get 1 free" deal. They were $105 per tire and are rated 91/100 by Consumer Reports plus have a 90,000 mile life. Pay less, get more. I like it! They've been on a month and I may be giving up 1-2 mpg because they are not LRR tires. But 4 donuts mounted & balanced with tax included for $460 is hard to sneeze at.
