Recently I did a lot of research on "race" tires that were designed for heavy cornering but DOT rated as approved for the street.
I ended up with the NITTO NT05 102W rated tires.
I presently have the other NITTO street performance tires and are not happy with them. Their compound is too hard, made for longevity instead of traction. I need the traction and don't much care about longevity. I don't drive so many miles and my tires time-out before being worn out. The compounds age out in about 5 years. Then they get harder, stiffer & not safe at speed.
