tires what kind?

the car: 90 n/a vert auto
i need new tires and i wanted to know what kind you guys r running, i currently have some Sumitomo HTRZ II 215/45zR17 87w (<--- whatever that # means?) they get good traction both dry and wet conditions, but i was told they don't last long (don't know when they were put on, came with car)

i am looking for some tires with the same performance but that last longer (unless these last long and i was misinformed) and at about the same price ($105 each)
thanks for all the info

Those are actually fairly decent tires. Mileage depends on your driving style, and it's hard to judge, what your mileage will be on these tires.

W is a closed-ended speed rating good to 168 mph...

well i will be driving about 120 miles a day to school and work 5 days a week and only 80 on the weekends (sat. and sun.) 80% of the driving will be at 70+ mph and on curvy and bumpy roads, the rest in the city
