Suitable tyres for Corolla

...

The tyres on my elderly friend's 1994 Toyota Corolla 4x4 manual sedan are wearing out quickly. The last set of tyres, Platinum Achille, lasted only 32,000 km and the set before that, Maxis, lasted just 28,000 km. Most of her driving is on sealed roads, but she does drive on some dirt as well, but considering that she is a careful driver I would have thought she should get better mileage out of the tyres. What should she be looking at when purchasing her next set of tyres?

The tyres she has bought in the past are very cheap ones and I would suggest she should look at a better quality tyre, such as a Michelin the next time if she wants better mileage. She could also have the alignment checked to make sure all is in order in that area as well.
