Look at Continental Contact Sport 3, Goodyear Asymmetrical F1 and Michelin PS2, all in XL load rating.

Do a lot of reading of tests at TR before you decide.


While I agree with what youre saying, Yoko and Hankooks have some pretty good tires too (can't vouch for the Dunlops). I drove my S.Drives pretty hard on the street and they performed like champs. No they aren't PS2's nor would I ever suggest that, however, they last 2-3x longer than PS2's and give you pretty good performance for spirited highway/every day driving. If you were on a track 5-10 times a year sure it'd be worth investing in a high priced extreme summer performance tire but for just driving the car hard on the street the others are MORE than capable at that.
