Yes life span of yokohama is short.
The tyre which will best suit you is Michelin energy XM2.
Make sure you buy made in germany or uk tyre. Never buy michelin made in thailand.
this tyre is perfect blend between , comfort, sportiness and less tread wear meaning long life.
yokohama advan db -> pure comfort, no noise at all , less life
continental cc5 -> very soft , comfortable , noise almost equal to advan db
Yokohama C drive -> more sportiness with comfort
yokohama A drive -> more life good for bad roads, a little noisy
michelin xm2 -> soft , long life , good grip
Pirelli p1 -> very hard tyre (will give you headache), very noisy , very long life , good grip
my personal choice would be Michelin xm2
