screw wet traction. Dry GRIP, money no object - what is best?
If there is some kind of tire that is really a street legal track tire - how much do they cost and how long do these things last on the the street? I do NOT want a tire that will wear out in 3 months or something insane.
PS2s are a good blend of dry traction, comfort, etc. but are there tires out there that are BETTER in the dry at the expense of wet traction - b/c I don't give a rat's a$$ about wet. this car wil never see rain.

In the tests I've seen the Yokohama Advan Neova and Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R, test out ever so slightly better than the PS2's in the dry only. If you want more traction than that you'll have to go street legal competition tires like the Pilot Sport Cup or Yoko Advan A048. They'll last longer than 3 months on the street, but not certain how much longer.
