Also they dust more than stock and are pretty noisy sometimes. I would not recomend them for daily use.

I have no experience with XP8's so I can't comment on those.
Biting harder doesn't equate to better street performance, for street driving the limiting factor is street tires and the OEM's have more than enough friction to instantly activate an ABS condition. The track is a different situation entirely, I wouldn't run anything other than XP10's up front in that case.
