Decisions, Decisions, Decisions..... (for tires)

Its that time again...
Im looking to get a set of all 4's on my 06 si. I have the HFP 18's and currently have pirelli p zero nero's. I love those tires, but this time around im looking to get something definetly cheaper and, most importantly, HAS LONGER TREADLIFE. I do alot of highway driving. I realize that the soft rubber makes it possible to have better grip, but im willing to trade some of this for a somewhat cheaper tire with longer treadlife. I have been considering Kuhmo ecxta's SPT, Yokohama avid w4s, Nitto Neo Geo's, Falken 912's, Yokohama Parada Spec-2's, BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT's, and other similar tires.

If anyone has had this problem before or has some info/recommendations on this, please let me know, Thanks!

you don't want to spend money on a good tire? Second, and most important, and 18" tire that is going to have a long tread life is hard to find as it is, now you don't want to spend money on a quality tire? You just shot both your feet off

my vote goes for the neo gens. my friends have had them for 50k+ miles and they still look like brand new.

RT615's are good for the price, great AutoX tires. Maybe not for Open Track because the tend to get a little slippery. From what i heard from some of my friends, they grip well after you shave them.
KDW are good too, they have good tread wear probably last a little longer. \

New Direzzas are out, not sure about them though. I have the First Direzzas, they are okay, I spin sometimes when i hit VTEC.

The new RE01R are supposedly really good, they are consistent after you heated them unlike the RT615.

If you're a baller Pilot Cups!!! haha
