Default Need high mileage tires for IS250rwd with 18" wheel package

I know this question has been asked before but a quick search doesn't really pull up anything. I am looking for long lasting tires for my IS250 with the 18" wheel package. I am currently running the stock Bridgestones in the back with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S up front. The stock Bridgestones lasted just under 30K up front and are at 65K in the rear. The Michelins are at 35K and look like they will last the claimed 45k miles. I like the MIchelins, however, they are wearing unlike any tire I have ever owned. The tread looks like it is shaving off and small chunks of the tread is missing in places. I was hoping the Michelins would work out but the way the tread is wearing makes me want to try something else. Anyone have suggestions? I am making this car my daily driver and plan on putting around 25K miles a year on it. I am in central AZ so I can run summer tires year round if there are any that last.

Michelins are usually the longest lasting
