Default Tire advise needed for endurance racing 370z

Hi All


Rules state tires must be 180 UQTG.

Race is 9 hour sat/sun, 5 drivers and a friday full day of practice. One set of tires to start with on friday and through saturday, if they are still good we will run them, if not fresh set on sunday.
The glen is the first race and it is easy on tires after the repave.I ran in a BMW there last year and the Falken's looked brand new after three days of racing. (It was cold and wet half of the time)

Looking for input on what tires are recommended for the following:
2009 370z
18x10.5 Squared
Enkei NT03+ rims
-4 front camber
-2.5 rear camber
JRZ remote 2 way adjustable
Don't have the spring rates handy

Rules state tires must be 180 UQTG.

We have looked at the following:
Falken Azenis
Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R
Direzza ZII Star Spec
Nitto NT-05
We are leaning towards the RE71R but I am hearing of potential lack of longevity. (At the glen this may not be a problem, see comment above.)

Any endurance guys out there with recommendations ?

Thanks in advance
