Aftermarket Mich. or Bridgestones are good for at least 40k if not thrashed.

I had a '98 Accord with Michelin MXV4 Energy tires (similar to those on my TCH) that had 60k plus original miles on them when I traded the car in, and they had plenty of life left in them.
I plan on replacing the OEM Michelins on my TCH with the exact tire, which Costco has available.
