Best Tires to Purchase

I need help finding a set of tires that will last. Currently I am getting around 25,000 per set of 4 tires. I rotate and balance every 5,000 miles, don't lead foot from stop signs, and stay within the speed limit (can't afford to drive any faster with diesel at these prices). I've had the stock Michilins, Wild Country, Dean Wildcats, and now I'm running Toyo M55's (and still having problems).

There are lots of hills and turns in the city (if that makes a difference). Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ron
