They checked for any warranty from Firestone, because there original tires nothing.
That's not what the manual I posted earlier said. I have found tire dealers in general do not like to prorate tires. I have even been asked "did you buy them here?" The manual I referenced has the phone number for the manufacturers. That sometimes doesn't help. BFGoodrich told me to take to a different dealer and gave me the name of who to contact. When I went to their place of business and said i was referred to them by BFG the owner said " You have got to be kidding me. I don;t handle their brand of tires."
Discount tire has pro rated many tire sets for me for not meeting mileage guarantee that I bought from them. And the prorate is based on the tire selling price not retail, and they don't require to buy the same tire. I've prorated continentals, Michelin, Bridgestone against another tire I wanted.
On my Trucks I generally get around 60-70% of rated tread life so basically get a 30-40% discount against new tires.
On my cars same thing, maybe we are hard drivers but we seldom get more than 70% of rated life, again Discount tire honors the tread wear warranty with discount on another set of tires.
Neighbor that tows a lot does the same with Discount.
