Very simple answer: Toyo T1-S. VERY durable, good on dry and wet. Inexpensive. They can last at least 15,000miles. I have yet to hear one person who says anything bad about it.

depends on the weather
the Firehawk SZ50 EP's would be my recomendation ... if you truely do not drive aggressively they will last more than 10K

My Michelin Pilot Sport Ribs don't seem to ever wear out but also don't suppose stick to the roads (at least in my country) as well as the others. In any case, if Porsche's can use them as standard, they must be OK.................

P.S. Strange the Tire Rack site don't appear to stock the 265/35 size that I have - may be size availability is country specific.
