Calculated tire CPM?

[Rawze]

(Mileage divided into the total cost). Chamber, I'm not sure of the price you paid for your drives, but I assume Rawze gets a substantial discount because of his carrier's buying power.

For example, on these Sumitomo's I'm running, based off the current wear per 32nd, they should see around 260-270k before I'll be ready to get rid of them. I paid $3400 (total installed for all 8 with FET, tax, etc). This would put my cost at about $0.0126/mile using the 270k total mileage figure. This is strictly basing CPM off total cost of tires alone (obviously you go further in if tires were costing you fuel MPG, but for simplicity I'm just using the total tire cost).

- To look at it another way, if I purchased a larger name brand at a cost of 40-45% (or more) higher, I would then also have to get the equivalent mileage in order to match my current setup. So, using the example above in a higher cost tire, I would HAVE to get over 390k out of them just to break even.

it isn't just cost per mile on tires... it is fuel savings. A good low Rolling resistance tire will save you exponentially in fuel vs. their higher price tag every single time... especially if you haul heavier loads.
