Default Recommended Tires?

My stock Yokos have lasted around 31K miles now with a few more to go. I wanted to know what is out there that can last longer and is a good allround all season tire. I pretty much use the car as a commuter. Didn't see any sticky on this nor anything turned up in search. In the tire review thread there is not much to see either.

I have Kumhos and they are really good! Wet and dry, traction is good.
A lot more quiet than the Falkens I had previously. discounttiredirect.com
usually has them for cheap to.

Our tC has low profile Z-rated tires which makes them low mileage - usually 20K

whats a good recommended tire for wet and dry traction?

we dont get much rain out here in so cal, but still it would be nice to have a good tire for when the rain does come down

so far ive seen that the kumhos are alright

anything else?

can you all report the mileage you expect/got out of these? I use it for commuting so I am looking for more like an allround tire.

I had the proxes 4 on my car before the fierce tires, really liked how they handled both wet an dry. I was too inpatient to wait foe the proxes to get in stock.

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position or Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus,
I just got a set for my VR-4. When the Xa's tires wear out, I may try out Michelin's, even though their expensive.
Check out Tireracks ratings.
