for nittos, it depends on how you use them. i think its around 10-15,000 "normal" driving (depending on what you call normal). i like the nittos cause they work awesome on the street for racing, and also do very well on the track. they also drive good in the rain if you drive easy. i'd recommond them if you would like a good street tire but would also like to use them on the track once in a while
nittos are great tires, IMO. i was driving on bald nittos (NO tread visible) for a while, and even went from Va to Fl on them (very dumb on my part) and got caught in the rain too. and they still were fine. sure, i hydroplaned a little...but after the first few times, its just fun and exhilterating 
and they are great for street racing too

I saw these http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes in a local Tiresplus and can buy them for $120/pc plus the normal BS. Its a Bridgestone owned company.
Looks like a great tire and the reviews on Tirerack are very good.
Plan on putting 4 on next week.

If you're willing to spend $238 per tire I would recommend these http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes
They lasted me 14,500 miles and have incredible grip on dry pavement. I cut a 1.82 60' with 3/32" of tread left. They're expensive but worth the money IMO.
