I have General UHPs and I think they are a nice everyday tire. They have a pretty high treadwear rating so I would think they should last at least 20k if you are not driving hard. They also have good dry traction, though not as much as a dedicated summer tire will. They have excellent hydroplane resistance, which is nice in the rain.

I have heard some good reviews of the Sumitomo tires as well, but don't know much else about them.
