I used to run Michelin Pilot Sports on mine (335/35/17 and 275/40/17). They easily lasted 30,000 miles but after 6-7 years the rubber started getting pretty hard and they no longer had nearly the traction levels they did when they were new. For that reason alone, I'd hesitate to use any tires that are getting up there in age even if they have a lot of tread left. I switched to Khumo Ecsta XSs and I couldn't be happier. The traction is far better than what I had with the Pilot Sport and the tread wear rating is a reasonable 180. Here they are in your size. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes
