Its my DD, occasional minor aggressive driving, ( stop light granprix style ) but no tracking etc. Plowed through so many posts in this area about tires, but atm, more than confused.

Occasional wet traction required, its Tampa after all, but the focus is more on tread wear than anything...

I saw someone mention a Michelin that has a 300 Tread wear? that would rock.

or a Bridgestone that has good tread life and decent wet traction?

Thanks!
IMO, continental extremecontact DW. you can get a set of 4 for ~800 and the treadwear rating is 340. honestly, the ratings dont mean much, especially comparing brands, but i got 20k out of mine with one 90-100 degree track day. burnt so much rubber that day....if i didnt go id probably finished them off with 25-30k miles. the fronts at 20k are still good for another 20k IMO, but the rears were toast after the track day
