Great in rain though. Can't wait for snow. I loved doing donuts in the OEM tires though.

RE11s or 960AS ?

How long to each of these tires last? Longer than the approximate 25,000 miles the stocks do?

Good tires (meaning grippy) wear quickly and tend to cost more than crappy tires that last a long time. You're going to have to make a tradeoff somewhere.
