What tyres will give a longer life?
I currently drive a Volvo XC60 2020 with 27,000 miles
It is fitted with Pirreli P Zero tyres, they wear evenly but I only get 15000 miles out of the front tyres and the back ones are still the original ones.
Can you recommend a tyre that would have a longer life?

15,000 miles for a set of front tyres is low, but not beyond the bounds of what is reasonable for a front-wheel-drive car. If you are looking for a tyre with the potential for longer life we would suggest looking at a tyre with low rolling resistance rather than a high-grip performance tyre or an all-season or winter tyre.
We would suggest looking at tyres such as the Continental Eco Contact 6 and the Hankook Ventus Prime 3 X, both of which are A-rated for fuel efficiency, but it is worth bearing in mind that switching to a tyre such as this from your current P Zeros may result in a reduction in vehicle handling performance.
