I figure that Nissan will never get rid of the feathering problem completely, so I want to know what replacement tires might wear the longest and cost the least since it looks like I will be buying several sets of tires, during the ownership period

 

Just a quick look shows:

Yokohama AVS Sport - 180
Goodyear F1 GS-D3 - 280
Michelin Pilot Sport - 220
Bridgestone SO3 - 220
Dunlop SP9000 - 280

These don't really mean that much, because the manufacturer sets the numbers. Myself, I like the Dunlops.

That's right, you can only compare wear ratings inside a manufaturer line and not between different manufacturers.
