Tires

What is the consensus on tires now-a-days? Preferably something that last longer then 6k miles a set, without sacrificing dry weather performance. Need stock 18" sizes.

I like PS2s. The treadwear was much more even than the stock Pirellis and it looks like they will last 1000-2000mi longer.
