Tires and Torque Steer

I'm in the market for tires to replace my Yokohama AVS ES100s (205/55R16). I've been happy with the Yokos as they've improved the torque steer and traction over the stock Michelin Pilots, but they've worn out quickly (about 22,000 miles of average driving conditions and they're practically bald). I'm looking for something that will last longer and be quieter, but still handle well. Snow traction is not an issue as I've got separate snow tires. I've been looking at Tire Rack and noticed the Yokohama Avid TRZ and the BF Goodrich Traction T/A T that both have good treadwear ratings and have gotten good reviews at Tire Rack. I haven't seen anyone discuss them here though and I'm worried about switching to a T-rated tire. Will the softer sidewalls bring back the torque steer problems? I'm not looking for high performance as I drive pretty conservatively. Does anyone have experience with these tires or have other recommendations? Thanks.
