It's not so much the brand but more the tread wear rating . Generally speaking sticky performance street tires will have a tread wear rating of 200 - 280 . While a tire designed to last longer will have a rating of 300 and higher , the higher the # the longer it will last ( in theory ) . But as you go higher on wear rating you start to lose grip/performance that is where the trade off takes place . You also have to consider how many miles a year do you drive ? I'd rather wear out a set of tires than have them expire due to build date . I think most " experts " will say tires should be replaced about every 5 years due to age , UV exposure , cracking/checking etc. but I know most people go much longer . Good luck with your tire search .
