Tire recommendation...'99 9-3, 215/45 R17

Hey guys,
I'm looking for an all-season tire for my 9-3....215/45 R17. I'm going to keep them year round, so I'm just looking for all season (I used to go the summer/winter tire route).
My last set of tires were all seasons as well, I guess "high performance" all seasons...Dunlop SP Sport Signatures. I have 24,000 miles on them, and the fronts are totally bald! The rears aren't much better, I rotated them regularly. They had a pretty good treadwear rating (I want to say 400+), but it has come to my attention that the treadwear rating is only relative to each specific manufacturer, so cross comparing doesn't really indicate how long the tire will last.
Needless to say, I am looking for something that will last longer. I care about handling, but a little less so than when I was younger. I don't want a "touring" tire that will roll like crazy when pushed, but I don't need something extreme either. Has anyone had any good experiences?
thanks!!
Alex
