AT 52k Oct2017, I ordered and had installed at Costco the Michelin X-Tour All-Season T+H 225/65R17 102(H) with 80k treadwear warranty. I bought the TPMS service pack, too.
These Yokos seem to be giving me a bit of a rough ride, but I can't tell if that's the tires or my developing DU problem. Fortunately, I bet against myself and got a service plan with the car, so now it's just an issue of convincing them that it needs replacing, and with a range of 66 with the A/C on, and a whine that drowns out the radio, and a deceleration vibration that you can actually feel in the steering wheel, I don't think I'll get much argument from the dealer about fixing the car, even if it needs a new traction battery and onboard charger to go with the new DU.
Anyway, I never pay any attention to the tire maker's warranty, because it seems to be just something they make up, like "better ingredients, better pizza". I go by the NTSC codes on the tires, and I've always found that to be a good indication of how long they'll really last (and doesn't jack up the price like high mileage warranties do).
