How long did your stock tires last? Any tire recommendations

I'm at about 3/32" of tread right now having driven 47,000km/29,000miles on the stock Dunlops. Same type of tires that were on my GTS. They just seem to wear away so fast. About to go in to the mountains (just for a day but there will be snow up and down) and was just wondering what people swapped out for when they changed tires? Looking for all-seasons. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. I'll be looking into the Contis after I've saved a bit more $. Until then it'll be a trip to the used tire store for now.

This may be off-topic but did you all stay with 215/45 or go wider with 225 or 235/40? Cheers.
