Default Recomend some long lasting 205 40 17's

Guys can you recommend some long lasting tyres size 205 40 17.

My GF is going threw tyres fast as fuck on the front of her corsa, thats 2 sets in a few thousand miles, first were falken ziex's lasted about 3000 miles 2nd set are cheap ones and have lasted 2000 or so, shes not easy on the car but christ going threw tyres that quick on a 1.0L Is taking the piss

Can anybody recomend some that will last and be reasonably priced, I know faster wearing comes with stickyness so would like the opposite

ive got goodyear eagle F1's on the cossy and theat gets some mighty abuse. and so far theyv done 2,000 miles and although have gone abit shredded on the edges the tread depth is still above half. they grip well too
2000miles on a 1.0 corsa for a set of tires. theres somthing wrong there surly. are they wearing evenly?
