I understand what you are saying mate, and can see where you are coming from with your knowledge

I've never really wasted my money on expansive performance tires for "street use". I know they will stop you far faster having better/softer compounds and all... but with all the garbage you can find on today's public roads surfaces it's really hard to take the term "performance" seriously

On the track, now that is a totally different story. For the last 15 years I've had my tyres custom manufactured from Dunlop in the UK with 3 different compounds on a single tire. Left/right sides and middle patch are also different compounds depending on which circuit I am practicing/racing on. Not mentioning the rears are harder compound than the fronts.

On the public roads/city... LOL, a good ol'Chinese made tire with ABS will do just fine for me brotha. I'm following speed limits and petrified by fast moving objects everywhere around me :/ Not a huge fan of 'street' anything in all honesty.
