30k miles doesn't sound bad on those...

Treadwear rating is 160 on those which is pretty quick wearing. It also depends on how hard you drive. Quick starts and stops will wear the tires faster as will hard cornering... but who can resist? (That's why I drive a SAAB!)
Seriously, if you want a long wearing tire, go to a Touring type tire. They won't have the grip, but they'll last a lot longer. As for a specific brand, well, you'll find tons of *opinions* elsewhere on this board, but it helps to start with a little research. The best place I know of is
The Tire Rack.
