The goodyears F1-D3's have lasted some people 20k miles or more depending on how you drive. I know they are quite expensive, but you should get quite a few miles out of them and hook really good for a street tire too.

Buy any tire with a hard compound and it'll last long, be prepared for little traction though.

How would those Sumis do in wet and dry conditions though? I haven't been able to find much in the way of reviews of them online.

Treadwear on that isn't an exact science though, people reporting 30k miles on sumis and on F1D3s, sumis have the 160 or so, F1D3s are listed at 300.

I have Nitto 555r Drag Radials. I bought my wheels with them on it and I believe they have around 8k on them. I would say they probably have another 4-5k on them before they become slicks.
