Continental premiun contact 2 2,1 VR
Goodyear duragrip 2,1 R
Dunlop sp sport fast response 2,1 R
Fulda carat progresso 2,2 VR

Those are the tires which are good in rr and arent very bad in other tire test sectors.

VR=very recommendable
R=recommedable
RwR= Recommadable with regards

From these tires I would pick goodyeat duragrip or dunlop, because tyrewearwas as small as Michelin energysaver. In other tires the number were twice as much or more!
I found the report you are talking about:

Tabelle Sommerreifentest 185/60 R14 H

I believe that neither the duragrip or dunlop would be the best choice when it comes to balancing wear and tread life, it seems that the hankook optimo would be the best bet since it has the same LRR as the Michelin energy saver while having a wear of 2,2 which is way better than energy savers 0,6 but a little less than dunlop's sport which is at 3,0.

I don't see why you recommended duragrip as their wear rating is only 0,8 which is only 0,2 more than the energysaver.
