Question High mileage tire suggestions?

I got 25k on original tires and now only 20k on bridgestone potenza re030. I'd rather turn up the radio then spend $800+ every 25k miles! Not looking to pay a fortune either.
Performance: I live in FL & only curves are offramps! Need good perf. on wet.
Suggestions?

Also, Continental DW, they're a summer tire instead of all season. I'll be getting them when I get the money.

Had good luck with Yokohama tires. They will be needing replacement in the near future. They were recently measured at 4.5 and have 64k miles on them.

Buy whatever's on sale that has the best mileage warranty. I usually get around 35,000 miles out of a set of Bridgestone G019s. 50,000 mile warranty. They're $127/tire on tirerack.com (V-rated) and my local Firestone shop is generally right at their price when the local dealer has a decent sale. If they last 30,000 miles, I'm in for roughly 3/5ths of $127 or $76/tire to go the next set of miles. Just one of many ways to go...

I got Cooper CS3-A about 6000 miles ago and have been great so far. Rated high on Consumer Reports and fairly cheap on treadepot.com

Thanks everyone for the input. I went with Uniroyal Tigerpaw GTZ. Good ratings in consumerreports and for $113/tire, you can't beat it! So far they have been great in heavy rain and the offramps (we don't have curves in South Florida!). They don't have tread warranty but known for long life and good rolling resistance.

I will never do summer tires again!

Update: just did rotation on the Tigerpaws and wearing really well. Lots of tread. Also just drove to Keys in heavy rain (not best day to call in sick at work!) and they were perfect.
