Default Tire Recommendations?

OK I DD my car, and have put about 20,000 miles on it since February 07. The tires I had only had a 320 treadware rating and are almost burned up. I'm looking for an all season tire with atleast a 400 rating so hopefully they'll last a little longer so I don't have to buy new ones every single year.

Here are the tires I was looking at, I'm wodering if any of you haave had experiences with any of them.

Goodyear Eagle GT,

BFgoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S, These are the ones I'm leaning towards

Kuhmo Ecsta ASX

Goodyear F1 All-Season, what I wanted at first but am not likeing the price.

What size? Look into the Pirelli PZero Nero M+S. Great traction and they have a 400 UTQG, I had them on a set of Z06s for about 30k miles and could have gone longer. It was a hard 30k too.

GY F1 All-Seasons. I had those on my car for 6 months (an accident destroyed them after that), including through the winter. GREAT tire. Comfortable, quiet, grippy in the bends, and can handle 2" of snow and a bit of ice/slush as long as you're not being stupid. Keep a look out for GY deals where you get a $40 gift card with a purchase of 4.

Man, to be honest, in my many years dealing with cars, those tires with 45 series profiles or less seem to loom around the 20k mile mark or less.

I like the Kuhmo's. had a set on my Camaro when I purchased the car, I liked them so much, I bought my G/F a set when she needed them. They are great in the snow/rain, and quite as well. I also got my Neighbors wife to get a set on her VW. She has 18's and she loves the tires as well. You get alot for what you pay for when going with that tire.

This is just my opinion though.
