Default I need some 22" tire recommendations

Hey guys I am looking for a set of tires for the new wheels. I am planning on using a 255/30/22 and a 295/25/22. I have found Nitto 555, Nitto INVO, Falken FK452, Kumho ECSTA ASX, ad Pirelli P ZERO NERO. I am leaning towards the Pirelli or the Kumho because of their reputations in lasting. I have never been a fan of Kumho tires ( not a lot of experience other than a set I returned because of poor handling on a previous car), and the Pirelli brand I have no experience with. The Pirellis come with a 45k warranty and the Kumhos come with a 420 treadwear rating. Any suggestions or comment???

I had a couple of sets of Falkens and they get really noisy and the tread separated on the other at only 12k miles. I loved the INVOs on my G35 and my wifes TL but I was trying to find something that will last. Then again I am not dropped for a change ( we will see how long that lasts)

the pirellis are looking promising because of the 45k warranty. Plus I see them on a lot of really big cars and SUVs
