Tires Hankook or Goodyear
A set of good years lasts me around 50k miles. I replace at 4/32nds if it is winter/almost winter. If it’s summer I put it off until 2/32nds.
Had a great Hankook set that had crushed walnuts embedded in the compound.
my stock GY wranglers are holding strong through rock climbing and mud.
Even if there's only an inch or two of snow (or more likely icy slush) down on the pavement, you'll notice a difference in traction between all season and proper winter tires.
The only *truly* green tire I know of is the Goodyear Electric Drive 2, which is built to complement electric cars and is made of renewable organic materials -- yet has excellent handling, noise, rolling resistance, tread life etc. characteristics.
I had the same isssues with the Michelins so I swapped them for the hankooks.

We put Hankook tires on our trailer. Trailer is in storage for the winter so I haven't used them.
I too have Assurance tires that lasted about half the amount of miles they are warranted for.
I have two sets of these on a pair of 2013,2015 Ford Fusions. 225-50-17.
One tire got a sidewall bubble at a couple months old. Walmart refused to help because I didn't have them install the tires but I suspect they would have come up with other reasons like road hazard to avoid a warranty claim. I was able to talk to Goodyear and have one of their company stores inspect. The cause was a crack at the inner liner splice and air migration into the carcass. They refunded me my purchase price.
A tire on my other car had the same problem in almost the exact same spot also less than a year old. Same result.
Tires are currently 2-3 years old and they have weathering and sidewall cracking. (Parked outside in Michigan). Multiple tires are developing something that looks like a heat ring to varying degrees.
