Is there a particular 17 inch tire that has tread life that lasts 50K miles like your normal 15 & 16 inchers?

I have a Honda Civic and want to make it a tuner car at the same time it will be an everyday driver and I tend to drive alot of miles. It's a 2003 and I have 115K miles on it already. I was thinking stick with 16's and a nice high mileage tire but if there are any 17's I would really look into it. All I can find is that those and bigger sizes only last about 20k. (Understandable, they tend to have softer rubber to stick to the road and is a thinner tire.) My car is paid off and I don't want another car payment @ the moment.

    Pirellies. I have the Cinturatos, they been there for about a year, 70,000 miles, no truble, tread 55%. But i drive like a grandma unless there is the need for speed, but i still dont brake hard and accelerate quickly. Slow on banks, turns and never touch the curb.

    Tire death is 100% dependant on driving style. I used to wear out radials in weeks with an old cadillac.
