Default Wear vs grip? I'm into getting a few more miles out of mine now.Yoko V4S = 500 wear, AA wet traction
but they are all-seasons, although very crisp handling. fwiw, no other tires offers 500 wear and AA wet traction. Really great handling too, best all-season for sport driving, imo.

Part of the equation for me is that HOT summer pavement quickly wilts tires. 200 wear tire on +150f pavement AND driving hard? My budget will not support that, back to the longer wearing all-seasons....yes...in summer.

BF Goodrich KDW's. Great summer tire, a little noisy but awesome grip dry & wet.
