When you drive a grippy soft rubber tire you can't expect it to last.

Extreme and Max Summer tires will last about 12-14K miles for most owners or about 1-1.5 years, even with tire rotation.

Tire treadwear warranty does apply-

For the Pilot Super Sport treadlife warranty is:
6 Years / 30,000 Miles
Half mileage for rear if different size than front

Bridgestone RE970AS is a good example of an Ultra High Performance All Season tire.

It has good dry and wet handling, can operate in cold weather and light snow, is moderately comfortable and quiet enough for daily driving, and it wears moderately well.

If you want more performance look at Max Summer tires.

If you want more comfort look at Grand Touring All Season tires.

I had 30,000 miles on the last set of Pirelli P Zero RF's. Buy asymmetrical tires so you can cross rotate.
