Currently I have Pirelli PZero Nero P225/45 ZR 17. Before that I had Continental. It seems like the Pirelli doesn't last as long as the Continental. What tire would be good that last? I drive about 20,000 miles a year. So, the tires already have more than 30,000 now.

I just wanted to add that the Pirelli PZero Nero been great in wet weather. The Continental wasn't that great. So, should I just stick with Pirelli PZero Nero or is there something better for wet and dry traction?

I don't track my car. I live in Dallas, Texas, so I don't need snow tires. Looking for summer tires.

If you like the Pirellis, and you are getting 30K out of them, I would stick with that.. Most summer tires don't last that long..

The yokohama AVS DB2's are the best ultra high performance all-season tires i've ever driven on

PS2's or look for the new Toyo T1-R's which replaces the T1-S.

T1-R's would likely be nice. A lot of people say good things about the outgoing T1-S, and I've been pretty impressed with my first experience with Toyos, the Proxes 4. I've only had them on about 200 miles, but I've seen some cold temps with wet pavement, and they're pretty impressive. So far, I like what I'm experiencing from Toyo.

T1-R are not coming out until the end of the year in the states :(

I won a free sets of Toyo's from a BMWCCA event and wanted to try them. Got T1-S instead.
