I've heard good things about Michelin Defenders. A tire's only job is traction, so that's the first thing I look at when shopping for tires, tread wear, noise, comfort and LRR come second. I'd rather avoid an accident than squeeze a few more miles out of a tank.
That really doesnt make any sense.
Then you should buy the stickiest tire out there.

by the way, what tire are you running?

And for being so accident adverse....looks like you 'settled' on the yaris.

If there is not room for 'other variables' in your thought process, then your current car fails.

or where you concidering mileage????? (also)
