Tread life warranties compared
A cheaper tire is not cheaper if it wears out sooner. Divide the price by the miles the maker warrants and the order can change.

The most comparable durability number
Most tire makers state a limited tread life warranty in miles. It is the maker's own commitment, usually prorated and with conditions (rotation records, matching sets, no damage), so read the terms on the maker's page. It is still the most comparable durability number a buyer can see before buying.
Below, we list the warranties stated on the pages we read, then divide the per-tire price by the warranted miles to get a cost per 1,000 warranted miles.

Our arithmetic: SimpleTire per-tire price on October 2, 2026 divided by warranted miles, times 1,000. Installation, fees and tax are not included, and a warranty is not a prediction of the miles you will get.
What the numbers say
Long warranties win on paper. In the Corolla LE size, the Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus cost $1.51 per 1,000 warranted miles against $3.72 for the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS12. Handling, wet grip and noise are not in this number; read the maker's description of each tire.
Equal prices, different value. In 265/70R17 the Alenza and the Steadfast were both $260.99, but the Alenza's 80,000 mile warranty brings it to $3.26 per 1,000 miles against $3.7334.
All-terrain costs more per mile. The Wildpeak A/T4W was the cheapest 265/70R17 tire per tire, but not per warranted mile5. That is the trade for off-road grip.
