Forever ago, I took an Engineering Economy class at college and it ruined me. [Or at least my wife says it did.]
Now, I take the price of the tire and divide it by the basic warranty mileage to get a $/mile cost estimate (e.g., a $100 tire with a 50K mile warranty costs $0.002/mile to operate). You can flip the calculation too if you prefer miles/$, etc.
I then compare that number between the tires that I want and that, at least, shows me that some bargain tires may, in fact, be more expensive on a per mile basis that the alleged expensive brands.
Michelins are much more price competitive on that basis, etc.
