Default Good treadwear in 255/35/19 & 285/35/19?

Or perhaps even in 265/30/19 & 295/35/19. Looking for a tire that wear better than the comp. I have a 2nd set of 17" wheels for the track so I'm not really concerned with having the ultimate in ultra high performance for the street and would sacrifice some street performance for longevity. Any suggestions?

+22, but I've seen the 265 / 295 combo with this offset in person so I know it will work. I don't really have a huge preference in size at this point, simply fishing around for some performance tires with the best treadwear.

I went with the BFG KDW2's. They are decently priced and have a 280 or 300 (cant remember) treadwear.
