Cool Best Tires for Road?

I have 275/40 17s all the way around on stock rims.

What brand of tires do you all find best for driving on the road? I don't want some cheap tires that are going to wear quickly on a curvy mountain road.

I only drive the Mach a couple days each week, so these need to last a long time.

Thanks!

For a nice street tire I would look at the Nitto NT555's like said.

If you want something grippier for the corners, I absolutely love the Falken Azenis RT-615. They won't last nearly as long but they are much grippier in corners.
