Default Longest lasting tire

Hey guys what is the longest lasting tire you have had on your SC300? Im sitting on 275/35/18 in the rear and 245/40/18 on the front with quite a bit of a drop all the way around. I'm planning on raising it to fix the camber situation in the rear though. I appreciate all input.

look for a tire with a high rating (300-400 or more), but these tires are made of much harder rubber and therefore you will have less traction on the road.

I would say any style Michelin rating above 400. I have always had great luck with them, not a particular model. I have had terrible luck with Khumo and Falken FK452's. This could have been contributed to worn out bushings and so on..
