I wanted to know of a tire that would be good replacement, extend shelf life, and maybe sacrifice a little performance for a daily driver in a condition that experience NO SNOW and very little rain.
Overall that is a challenging thing to accomplish because all tires in this category are PERFORMANCE tires. Long tread life and performance are not in the same sentence in this statement. It is like saying "I want to buy a Harley that handles great?"
That doesn't exist! Appreciate the info.
The continentals do have a pretty good tread warrenty, (and the PSS were built with tread life in mind). I think the Conny DW is your best mix of performance/ ride/ tread life with a good price point. After the "W" mark wears off the tire is still good in the dry. It has the most comfy ride too.

So, the Continental DW seems like the clear winner for your application. (I would still go 285 in back though)
