Tire Help/Suggestions...

I currently am running on yokohama parada spec-2s. They are an unbelieveable ride and outstanding grip on the road...BUT, the treadwear is not very good at all. I am strecthing to make this set last till 20,000 miles. So, my question is: Is there a tire out there that matches or closely matches the performance of the Spec-2s, but has better treadwear and even possibly a treadlife warrenty?...thanks

No tire in that category has a treadwear rating of 400. As far as I know, only all-season/touring tires have ratings that high. You may want to do a bit of comparision on the Tirerack.com website to make sure.
