Right ive narrowed it down to 4 tyre options.

GOODYEAR TYRES / CAR / GOODYEAR DURAGRIP GOODYEAR DURA GRIP - 185/55R14 80H TL

CONTINENTAL TYRES / CAR / CONTINENTAL PREMIUM CONTACT 2 CONTIPREMIUMCONTACT 2 - 185/55R14 80H TL

DUNLOP TYRES / CAR / DUNLOP SP SPORT FASTRESPONSE DUNLOP FAST RESPONSE - 185/55R14 80H TL

TOYO TYRES / CAR / TOYO CF1 TOYO CF 1 - 185/55R14 80H TL

Everyone on here says toyo cf1 are good but what will i be getting extra with the other tyres which are more expensive. If say continental or goodyear tyre will last twice as long as toyo then i might consider them but i dont know if they do.
