What mileage durability are you looking for? If you drive 5000/year a 20,000 mile tire would go 4-5 years. Any longer than that and tires become pretty unsafe.
Michelin A/S 3 will probably last 20,000 miles with decent grip.
Hankook RS4 will probably go 10,000 miles with much higher grip level and lower cost.
Michelin PS4 are similar in grip and longevity to the Hankook at a higher price.
Roads matter, driving styles matter, alignment matters.

I fitted Yokohama V105S and been very pleased, certainly better that Pirelli P Zero N rated tyres I used previously!

Is that all they're good for? I just bought a set, and I was hoping to get 25k - 30k out of them.

IIIRC, the mfg warranty is 40k for AS/3, but with staggered sizes, they cut it in half.
I have them on my 996 and got maybe 10k on the rears
YMMV LOL

Why is treadlife so sharply reduced if they're staggered?

I assume this is because most people don’t brake hard enough or late enough.
