THIS! Stop worshiping those damn pilot super sports. They're really not THAT good, just okay. Look at the Toyo R888R or Nitto NT01 if you want something that holds traction better in dry weather and still can handle well. Hell, even the Bridgestone RE-71R is fantastic and still keeps 200 treadwear (okay, barely, and just on paper). Drag radials if you're that desperate for traction, but don't expect them to handle turns all too well. Compound > tire size
