Tire mileage rant

Just over two years ago, I purchased a set of BF Goodrich tires for $800 that had an 80,000 mile rating. They're already shot after 34,000 miles. How in the hell do they come up with these ratings anyway?

I'm now waiting for a new set to be installed. I'm upgrading to Michelins this time. At least my warranty is knocking off half the price, but then I'm still paying the full cost for the certificates which brings the cost up to $525. Ouch.

At least I'll get a much smoother/quieter ride that I missed out on the last set.
