Default what tyres ?

Hi guys, yes another what tyres post
basically looking to find a slight harder wearing tyre than the toyo t1rs as they have only lasted about 15k, cant really fault the way they grip but they do wear farely fast.
so what tyres do you guys rate ? they need to be available in 205 45 16 and ideally have a rim protector as the girlfriend drives the car
Cheers

Me and the O/H have had Uniroyal Rainsport 2 and have found they wear better than T1Rs and have much better wet performance and about the same dry.

And they have a bit of a rim protector.

15k lifetime is not bad, but could be better. But you know, tyre wear depends on several parameters, not only on tyre compound. Same tyres perform different for each driver.

This tyre recommendations are also so personal. Expectations and experiences always differ from each other. There is no single solution for it.

I would also recommend you to check the links phil_rs posted. There are alternatives better than Toyo out there.

For me, I can only rate and recommend you the tyres I'm currently using.
My tyres are Lassa Impetus Sport and am happy with them.
