New 'All Season' Tires for Scion xD?

My spouse's car, a 2008 Scion xD needs a new set of 'all season' tires. We have full winter tires (Nokian Hakka 5's) so they only need to be 3 season - and mainly they should be low rolling resistance and long wearing, and have decent wet traction.

Here's the best *rated* tire from TireRack in the standard size (195/60/R16): Yokohama AVID Ascend (H- or V-Speed Rated)

This is the only model that specifically mentions LRR features, and it has by far the longest tread wear rating - 740 vs 400 for the next longest rating.

I'll try to find info on Michelin and Nokian...

What are your recommendations? Thanks in advance!
