Can't attest to the performance, probably not what your looking for but I just put Goodyear Eagle F1 all season tires on my 2005 ZR. Absolutely love 'em. Ride smooth and grip like crazy wet and dry. Since it's a daily driver in Indiana I wanted something other than summer performance.

IMO best street tire there is. Sticky as hell on dry pavement!! But, no, you wont get 25K, maybe 12 to 14 if youre nice to them.

+1 for BFG KDW2s.

The life of the tire will depend on your driving style. I'm at 2.5 years of ownership with my KDW2s and have put on approximately 20k miles on the tires.

Yea I was looking at the Goodyear Eagle F1 but they don't make the 265/35 19 I need for the rears. I have a grand touring and have 255/40/18 on the front and 265/35/19 on the rear. They do make 255/35/19 but will throw the computer off.

You know the original size for the front was 245/40/18. I would go 245/40/18 and try 275/35/19 on the rear.

If you must have OEM RE050A tires (which are great, BTW), here's my shameless plug. Check my sig.
