Default yokohoma es100 vs. toyo tIR

help me decide between these two tires. i know these two tires are pretty much next to each other but i which one will last longer. i don't plan on tracking the car or too much hard driving either.

I'm currently running the t1r's right now. Previously, I was using the es100's (205/45/16). I liked the es100's when I first got them. They look great on the car, traction was really good in dry and decent in wet, and it handled great in the turns. Only downside, I found it now camber friendly. These wore out on the insides due to the car being lowered (camber) very fast. Ride quality began to suck, and the road noise was horrible once the tires started wearing. I've been using the t1r's for the past 3000 miles and I'm loving them! Very predictable in the turns, grips better than the es100's imo...not wearing as quick on the insides as the es100's, ride quality is better and quieter.....

I have to agree on that "not camber friendly" comment. My car is barely lowered and I am using a camber kit as well, yet I am experiencing faster than normal camber wear. These are the 2nd set of es100's that I have experienced this problem with. I will definitely try a different set once the inner tire wear kills em.
