Default Long lasting tire for s2k

I currently run sumitomo ht III's..for DD non spirited driving, what tire will last me the longest? Longevity > performance for me now with the S. my budget is $550 or less.. I saw some new kumho's on tire rack but no reviews yet.. But it did have a high UTQG. And was less than 500..

If longevity is your biggest concern, you might want to get an alignment to accommodate that. It'll have a bigger impact than tire choice.

0 camber all around, 0 toe front, 1/32" toe in rear.

I got these hankook mystery tires. venture h405 hII or something along the lines of that. even with hella camber they just wont die. Don't really grip too well though.

Regarding alignment, I'm going to get the tires first then it's off to to Westend..I was going to tell darrin to do a high mileage street alignment and maybe ask if he could do something about tire wear. I'm going to give discount tire direct and tire rack a call regarding the falkens and hankook.
