A few comments on the tire rack site on these tires lean towards replacement at 20,000 miles. Anyone have any suggestions?

Buy the Michelin tires that fit the TCH. I did quite a lot of research on tires before I bought my TCH and came to the conclusion that I did not want the Bridgestones but wanted the Michelins. I planned to have the dealer switch them if they came off the boat with Bridgestones. It seemed about half came from each manufacturer. Fortunately for me, I did not have to have them switched since mine came with Michelins.

I have always had good success with Michelins. I expect to get a minimum of 40,000 and hope to get 50,000 miles on them.
