I ended up ordering the Nokian eNTYRE, even though the closest size is 205/60/R16 (0.6" wider than stock), because I think they are better than the Yokohama's, and because it supports my local business - Chang Ho Kim! In the end these are only about $25 more than the Yokohama tires.

If you stick to the stock size, then the Yokohama Avid Ascend are the best bet, I think. Only three makers have that exact size, and the others have far lower wear ratings, and do not mention anything about LRR, either.
