Since I don't typically drive too aggressively I am wanting to replace them for a tire with a bit more tread wear under normal driving conditions. I am getting maybe 20K on each tire and because it's a daily driver that means I am replacing a set at least annually. I live in Florida so decent traction on wet roads is a must.
If you have experience with a better wearing tire, with similar characteristics I'd be interested to hear your recommendations.

If you go on Tire Rack, they have actual user ratings for most if not all tires they sell. You can actually see tread life ratings from users.

That should help.

Good luck.

PS- 20K on the back tires is actually pretty darn good for this car, given the tires you have been using.
