And how are you going to prove how much mileage have you done?Besides the fact that you can wear them out in one afternoon.

I know some companies offer 10 year warranty against manufacturing defects for summer tyres and 6 years for winter tyres and some throw in free repairs or replacement if cannot be repaired during lifetime. Have not heard anything about mileage warranty an can't imagine how it works. Any tyre will wear out fast if you put it on track, do burnouts, use underinflated, overloaded or if wheel alignment is not right. How are you or manufacturer going to prove mileage? They can be swapped between different cars, odometer replaced or reading changed.
