IMO, mileage estimates seem to be for straight line, 50 mph, constant
temp and load. I got Aspen Touring from NTB for my 06 Kia.
Aspen reviews are really bad. Nearly all say that 15k-30k miles on a
55k mile warranty tire is end of life for them.
However, mine have about 15k miles now and hardly any visible wear. A
little rounding on the fronts. 440 tread, A temp, A trac. I drive
Houston freeways from the west side to the east side and back, and 1
mile to Walmart, so my driving conditions are probably similar to yours.
