Oh and for how long they should last...

If you rotate your tires regularlly then you should get the rateing that the tires are specified for. Like if you bought 60,000 mile tires well you should get that many miles atleast. Also, to check the thread on your tires do the penny trick.

Take a penny with Honest Abe's head upside down and place it between the tread on your tire. Aslong as the tread is above Abe's hair line then your tread is ok and there is still wear left on the tire. If your tire tread falls below Abes head then you will need to get new tires.
