dunlop vs yoko, opinion, please advise

i am planning on changing my rear 245 40 17 inch tires for the c320 sport. i put about 23K on the continentals.
what are opinions abt dunlop direzza dz101 versus yoko avs es 100.

my front tires still have tread so i figure to change them later

Isn't the ES 100 a pretty soft tire? I think perhaps the wear rating is 180? I could be wrong, but with that rating it is doubtful you would get 23k miles out of them.

i cant afford to switch out my fronts when they are full of tread. i know this goes against your advice but that would be a waste

i am thinking about the kumho exstasa asx all season ultra perfomamce tire should do well in south florida where is mostly sunny with rain
