New tires

My current tires still have half tread @ 20,000 miles so I am not in a hurry to get new ones. But, I have done a lot of searching around for info and have narrowed it down to two, the Yokohama Db Super E Spec and the Nokian I3.

Both get good reviews although I found more on the I3 than the Yok.

Looking for some suggestions on other tires as well as experience with either of these two.

Both are offered in 215-60-16 which is 10mm wider but come with a higher max psi and a higher load rating than my current tires.

Obviously I am looking for something that rolls good and will hopefully net better mileage.

The Yoko is easier for me to find local so I can look at it first and do some basic measurements to see if it is larger/smaller. The Nokian would have to be ordered online.
