What would be a good tire choice for a car that will be daily driven that won't heat cycle to death after a few months?

Not that PSS isn't a good tire, Mayseffect was pointing out that PSS has been replaced by PS4S, but PSS is still priced as if it is the latest model (same thing for those PS2, still carries outrageous price tags)

100%^

There are several good selections that i can't really list them all. The continental extreme sport is high on the list. The PS4S being arguably the best money can buy, although the highest price in its class. I personally don't buy in to this logic. I'm currently on PZ4's on my G and Dunlops sport maxx gt's (most underrated tire in history) on my FX.

Even if the Michelin's are statistically better than the competition, they are not worth the significant cost difference IMO. For the price i'd rather go with Extreme tires which i know work better on the street and track.

My Direzza ZII's worked better in all conditions over the PSS and lasted the same amount of time with the small caveat that it made slightly more noise and vibrated at high speeds toward the very end of its life.

The Nitto INVO IMO is still one of the best tires for its intended use, certainly for the cost. For the street, this tire handles perfectly with great comfort, even in low profile sizes. They don't have the most grip in dry/wet conditions but give a ton of feedback and are very smooth.
