Your choices for a long-lasting tire in the stock size (165-64-14) isn't very good. If you are willing to move up to a slightly larger tire (175-65-14), the Falken Sincera SN250 is hard to beat. This tire costs $46/each at walmart.com and should last you 80,000 miles. It's an all-season tire that gets generally good reviews, too. Lots of Mirage owners have switched to a 175-65-14 tire size because it opens up better tire options.
A 175-65-14 tire is slightly larger in diameter (23") than the stock tires (22.5"), so your speedometer/odometer will be 2.5% slower than your actual speed. I have 23" tall tires on my Mirage and do not notice it. When my ScanGauge indicates 60mph, my Garmin GPS shows 61 mph.
Also note that this is not a Low Rolling Resistance tire...so it's probably going to cost you 1-2 MPG. For most people this is not a big deal.
And I have to mention this as a reminder to anyone getting new tires on a Mirage...
If you have never had a 4-wheel alignment check, please do this BEFORE you buy new tires!
If you have an alignment issue that needs to be corrected under warranty, you want to have OEM-sized tires on your car.
