Default Mama needs a new pair of shoes

Hey yall...

I've been running with the Goodyear Eagle GT II's and I'm getting a little tired ( ) of replacing them every 30k miles. Besides the Michellins, is there another tire out there that will perform the same and last a little longer, and still be cost effective? I've been thinking about the Kuhmo's or Hancook.

I have 275/60R/17. Suggestions please. And if anyone is in the "know" of a good deal, please advise.

I've heard good things about the Falken and Hancooks. I have Toyo Proxes(275/60R17) and they seem to be doing ok, but I've also been spinning them at the track.

DLH...

I've been looking for a tire that doesn't wear as fast as the GT II's, and has better wet traction, and so far it could be either Kuhmos or Hancooks.

This site helped me a little, but I'd like to get some oppinions.
