Need help fast!

Ok I have the OEM 18's and my tires are at there end. I should of changed them like a couple thousand miles ago!

Anyways I need to buy new tires but there are soooo many choices.

I want a tire that will grip but not ware out after 12K miles. I got 36K miles out of the Michelin Piolet Sports.

As far as my driving style I dont peelout at every light or stop sign. I run hard when its time but for the most part I enjoy the ride. I also drag a few times a year.

These are the 3 tires im stuck with:

Michelin Piolet Sports
Toyo Proxes T1-S
Bridgestone S-03's

I was just going to go with the Piolets since my first pair was soooo good but when I got a quote I was like uhh huh...

Also Im a little confused with the tire size.. Im guessing I should keep the front the same 225/40/18 and the rear 255/45/18?

What do you guys say? Any other suggestions? Please hurry I need to pull the trigger on this ASAP!

Thanx in advance!

i wouldnt go with the S0-3's if i were you. I have em on my sedan and even though i rotate them, i'm only gonna get 14,000 miles at the most out of them. I'm a very spirited driver and dont get me wrong, the tires are excellent, they just wont last you anywhere near 36,000 miles.
