This question has probably more threads than anything else. Suggest you do a search "rear tire" and similar terms in the search box upper right corner. Then, come back here and ask a more specific question that you didn't get answered.

I just intstalled a Michelin Defender T+H 205/60/15 just today. The tire shop looked at my wheel with question marks in his eyes but when he put it on the machine he said no problem. He didnt balance it and I wasn’t too concerned. I went out for a 40 mile test drive and had no vibration issues and it handled wonderfully.

Welcome to Spyderlovers. I have been running the General Altimax RT43 and I really like them. 215 60 R15 available on Amazon $75. Handles great in wet and dry conditions

The reason you have tread left on the outside is because you are only riding on the center.
