Tires for base 2007
There's probably a zillion threads on tires and I've looked at enough already. I need new tires and do not care about performance so much, but more about longevity.
I currently have Michelin PS and they are shot after 20k, mostly because of a too-aggressive alignment in the front.
A lot of tires don't seem to be available right now, thanks to the gov't shutting stuff down last year. I definitely want ZPs.
Aside from Goodyears, Tirerack only has Michelins ($1300) and Potenza,($908) LINK -- which seem to be about the same performance-wise. Is there anything available that will last longer? I will get the car properly aligned after the new tires are on.

Just put the continental extreme contacts on and wow what a difference. Had the Goodyear runflats and I will never go back to runflats again. Car handles better and so much quieter. Can’t recommend these enough.
Retired & lovin' it!

I just went from Mich PSS on the front to Mich PS 4S and am very impressed. They ride better but I pull about .07 more G's in the same curve.
I had to go with Mich PSS in the rear because they don't make the PS Ss in a 345 19".
My friend (same '10 base) got 4S's all the way around a few weeks ago and has thanked me 5 times for recommending them.

I know I'll probably get flamed for it , but I used to really like the Ohtsu FP800. cheap, quiet, wear great and decent traction. Only reason I don't have them now is because I added a pro charger and had to go to drag radials.
