I just assumed that anyone lowering a vehicle & putting big tires on was trying to increase performance.
If not, maybe a harder all season tire is more appropriate.
Personally on the terrible PA roads I travel, I barely get over 25,000mi. with a 500+ tread wear tire on my daily driver, including Cooper, Michelin & Continentals.
I never tried the Michelin SS (30,000 mi warranty) but I have also never got near the mileage warranty they claim (usually half) on any tire I buy.... It is nice getting a discount on the next set though.
I basically buy good tires with warranty, get the mileage adjustment & end up paying the same as cheap tires with no warranty.
