Tires R Us?

[STC]

I'll be in the market for new tires coming up in the next year. After three years I have 33,000 miles on my Yaris. My mechanic says the tires look great and the wear is good. They should go another 12,000-15,000 miles. I run my tires at 44psi, as one of my hypermiling techniques. The tires are the factory (OE) Bridgestone Potenza RE 92, P185/60R15. These tires are excellent in handling and overall great for fuel efficiency, but rather costly from what I hear. Someone told me they are a performance tire and at the same time considered a LRR tire!

I'm looking at an all-season tire in the P185/60R15 size for the Yaris. Excellent wear (>500 treadwear), good traction (at least A) and temperature (at least B) with good tire roll capabilities. Doesn't have to be a labeled LRR tire. Cost and fuel efficiency is a large factor. I would rather purchase a < $100 tire. I love the Bridgestone, but it seems a bit expensive over the $100 range!


The list I'm looking at:

Kuhmo Solus KR21? Eco KR22?
Yokohama AVID TRZ? Ascent?
Continetal?
Dunlop?

Have any of you used these manufacturers and brands? Pros and Cons?

Any other recommendations, folks?

The more input I can get with your reviews, the more confident I can be on the purchase. I hate going into things blind.

Cheers!
