That is the main reason I went with the Dunlop Sport W-10's.  I just needed to take a break from replacing tires every year.  My wife still asks me "don't we need to buy tires for one of the cars soon?"  She's a very nice girl. The W-10's have held up really well; even the ND trip last May and my seattle to San Diego trip at the end of the summer!  Handling is decent, but scary at the limit.  I would only reccommend them as a commuter tire as I feel their performance and adhesion leave something to be desired.

How's that?
