Ultimately I want a dedicated set but its not in the cards at this time. So just doing my homework before I get new tires later this year. I think I'm a pretty aggressive driver on the track but still a novice. I tend to stick with auto x for now and do about 6 to 8 events per year. I put about 9k miles on my car a year and live in Phoenix so rain isn't much of a concern.Hankook had the lowest wear in the last Tire Rack 200TW test. But I don't know how that compares to a 300TW tire.
Do you want to go fast, or do you want your tires to last a long time? Best thing for long tire life is a good setup, and avoiding over stressing them (ham fisted aggressive track driving is likely to kill any street tire pretty fast).
The value choice seems to be the Firestone Indy's but they are 2 or so seconds slower than MPSS. The RS4 will be faster, but probably won't last as long. And will be louder and not very good in the rain.
I figured that if I could stretch an rs4 or ziii for 2 years I could justify the purchase, but it seems that a max summer tire will be better suited for my needs for now.
