Default Tires

Hey everyone, i've got a couple tire questions. I'll be getting 17x10.5s out back soon, and i havent decided if im gonna stay stock wheels/tires in the front, or bump them up to a 17x9 as well. I have sumitomo HTR +'s on my car now, and my question is what will be a good rear tire for a daily driver that will never really see the track, and also gets 10k-12k miles a year? I've heard the BFG T/A KDW's are really nice, and ive also heard good about the Mickey Thompsons, but would those wear to fast for me? Would a Sumitomo in the back be a better choice? O, and the tire size will be 315X35. Thanks.

Nittos get about 10-12k miles.. MT or BFG's only good for about 5-6k and not very rain friendly, the nittos actually suprise me in the rain, its drivable.. but then nittos dont hook like a MT or BFG...I just went out and bought 4 rear rims and i use nittos for daily driving and slicks on the other pair and i keep my same look

I know this is a hard question to answer, but now that ive kinda ruled out BFG's and Mickey Thompson's, will the Nittos last MAX 10-12k if your easy on them, or do people realistically get less than 10-12. I was looking at Nittos before too, but then i found the BFGs.
