Need opinion on tires for FL weather.

Currently i am riding Perelli S6000's ,handle great . very sticky, great tire for dry/wet apllications, but the tread life is horrible due to the soft compound of the tire. Only had the tires for 6 months and the tread is wearing thin.

Is there a tire that has good tread life without sacraficing to much handeling performance? I also failed to mention i am driving about 70 miles everyday on the highway 5 days out the week so i need a tire that is a not to noisy at highway speeds.

Thanks for your input guys!

Also forgot to mention that we are approaching our wet season which is pretty wet. It rains everyday at 3:00 with heavy rain just about every afternoon, so i also need a tire that can handle the rain like Perelli's. THANKS AGAIN!

Nitto 555 Extreme. Great ride and handling, no highway noise, great in rain and from what I understand people are getting 40,000 miles out of them. I've had mine for about 8,000 miles now and I love them.
