city grips will last longer, probably be cheaper too.

Pretty much what the Aussie said above.
Pirelli don't last long at all. I chewed through a rear tire in under 3000 kilometres. You'll probably get 5 to 6000 on the city grips.
The power pure also wear fast like the pirelli.

The are nice and sticky new but not for long.

Yep the more grip your tires have the shorter their lifespan. Just watch Formula One to find out.

Read the reviews on Revzilla and it seems that people are getting upwards of 13,000 miles on them.

5500+ miles on Melody's CityGrips, looking like they've got plenty more in them.

On what size rim? Size matters here as far a miles you get out of a tire.
