United-Kingdom Best tyres for 15inch rims?

Need some new tyres, have Pirelli P3000 at the moment, a good all round tyre but the centres wear out quicker than the rest, this is a quirk of the tyre more than pressures being out.
Any ideas on a good tyre for this size rim? 175/65/15

Plus size your tires to 195/60-15 or 205/55-15.

I think I want to stick with 175 tyres as one tyre is nearly new so it would be a shame to bin it. I am also thinking about selling the car soon so keen to keep the cost down!
Any other 175/65 advice?

If you're not replacing all four tires you should buy the same tire.
