Rick3000,

Boy do I envy you!
I've got a 1999 Boxster with OEM 17inch wheels and factory sized tires.

I only get 30K to 32K miles on my front tires.
I usually get anywhere from 15k to 16k on my rear tires.

I usually purchase Sumitomo HTR Z IIIs. They are relatively inexpensive. And over the last four years TireRack has always carried them in stock.

In my opinion, just my opinion...In a perfect world you want the same brand/model tires on both the front and the rear. I don't think different tires on the front and back are that much of a bad thing (given that they aren't snow tires on the back and ultra performance tires on the front:-))

When I purchased my car in 2009 in had different brand tires on the front than on the back. When the rears wore down I replaced all four with the same brand tire.

Just my two cents
