RE71R are listed 200 tread wear but wear like a 100. So you are not going to see much benefit there. Also messing with the tread type Street tires and DOT tires is a bad idea for handling for track purposes and most people will look at you like your some sort of idiot for doing it. Also even if your are not going to drive in bad weather you can't predict the stupidity of other people, a truck could be dumping water on the exit ramp because he didn't feel like emptying the water from the dumpster he was hauling, your back end will come around like it was on ice. DOT tires are meant to just get you to the track and back, not daily driving tires. Get a set of cheap Enkies and put your track tires on them and get another set for everyday IMO.

CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX UTQG: 400 A A
Those are the highest tread wear rating tires on tire rack in sizes for the 370. Just look for the highest UTQG rating if you want mileage. There are no tires with great tread wear and great grip.
