I have never recorded mileage on my tires. I do visual inspections and determine if I can get through another hot season without blowing. I've ridden with flats, tires patched maybe three times with lazy honkin' plugs (no side-effects from rear tire), and a rear tire that unexpectedly started to show four inches of white cord. At that point I realized I was accelerating too aggressively and stopped that. Cheapest tire ever had was Bridgestone and it lasted well. Maybe the most expensive was Avon and they were great, but I took on many flats due to nails and screws.
