I just put my 3rd set of tires on my 2007 TCH with 71500 miles on it now.
The original Bridgestone OEM tires were AWFUL and lasted only about 32K miles.
I got some Yokohama YK520 tires, rated at 65K, and they lasted about 39K miles.
I decided to step up in "class" and go with the high-dollar Michelins, since the tire store gave me a $68 per tire credit for the Yokohama tires.
So far - VERY pleased with the Michelins.
Nice, quiet, smooth ride and feel. Also unusually, I noticed a slight increase in MPG with the new tires, almost immediately. Very Odd, since new tires are softer and have "more rubber on the road" and that usually bogs down the MPG at first.
It will be interesting to see if the MPG continues to go up as the tires harden with use and get less rubber on the road.
All in all, these tires are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! :shades:
