Default Help choose tire..

So im in the market for some Tires for my daily driven camaro. Im looking for some 275/40r17. Im more looking for durability, I do take my car to the 1/4 once a month. I atleast want to get two years out of them. Some info that might help, Here where I live never snows temperature is in winter is usually 30-70 and summer 87-108. I currently have some bald primewell tires which suck.

Here are some of my choices:
Nitto nt555
Firestone firehawk tires
Bridgestone super comp2
Cooper zeon rs3-a

rs3 is a good tire...but I actually have Nittos for DDing the car. I see no signs of wear at all and I drive 40 miles a day for the past year and make trips from northeast Texas to Houston
all the time.

BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 appear to have great reviews. I just ordered some for my DD.
I know they have to be better than the almost 6 year old Kumho SPTs on there right now!

Saying you want to get two years out of them doesn't really help. How many miles does two years equate to?

I vote for the BFG Gforce Sport Comp2. They wear very well for the performance they offer.
