I've been using Goodyear RS-A2 tires (the OEM tires on my car) and I typically get about 30-35k miles from them — I'm on my third set and I've never had any of them all the way down to the wear bars. Since I live on a gravel road and drive steep, sharp mountain curves every time I leave home, I'm a lot harder on tires than flatlanders who mostly drive highways, although I do have a lot of highway road trip miles as well. [The exception would be performance car drivers with a lead foot — that's harder on tires than my basic mountain driving.] Handling on my mountain hairpin curves is fine. They don't work on snow and ice in my RWD car, so I use snow tires.
Although these tires are regularly disparaged here, my only complaint is that they are a bit noisy; when I shift to my snow tires, with the softer rubber compound, the snow tires are quieter. In terms of mileage, since the Goodyears are much less expensive than the Michelins that many prefer, if the latter last for more miles, it probably works out to a wash in terms of cost.
My preference is for low rolling resistance (at reasonable cost) but I have never found any testing that compares the tires that fit my car. The Nokians preferred by some, and generally regarded as the best for LRR, are very expensive and hard to get where I live, so I haven't tried them.
