Low-speed tires.

I recently bought a 2001 911 coupe. It came with high-speed tires, 235-35
ZR 19 in front, 270-30 ZR 19 in rear. They are almost worn out.

I've heard that high-speed tires wear quickly. Since I don't intend to
drive over 100, I would rather have tires that last rather than go fast.
However, tires in this size all seem to be Z rated. Does anyone know where
lower-speed tires of this size can be bought?

The wheels, obviously after-market, bear no names or numbers that I can see.

I don't find anything recommended for that year (and I've got one myself)
that's lower than Z rated. Rears will wear twice as fast as fronts, so
relax on the gas pedal and you'll be doing the best you can. Now...if you
can find someone like Wheel Enhancement to swap wheels and go down to 18" or
even 17", the car will ride smoother, the wheels will be less likely to get
bent, and the rubber will last longer. Those 19" make for a really rough
ride on those ultra-low profile tires.
