Need tyres.. recommendations

Remember the treadwear number. My Kumho's have a number of 600 which is very high, the spare in the boot was a Pirelli P0 which had a rating of 220. The higher the number, the longer they last. I rotated the spare to the front and completed 11000km and the Pirelli was half stuffed while all the Kumho's have done 30000km and they still have 40-50% on them. If you have 50 profile tyres (235/50/17), run them around 36Psi around town or 40psi on the freeway which gives better rolling resistance but slightly less grip through corners.

I got 45k out of a set of Bridgestone RE050's - good grip too

And generally the higher the number the harder they are with less grip, especially in the wet

I can't get to my house without driving along about 5km of twisties (seriously, there's no other way in) and that's often done enthusiastically. I'm using RE002's at the moment, they're pretty good.

The RE002 are good fun but are soft and don't last very long
