4WD drive cars eat tires also.A guy I work with has an WRX STi and he runs Bridgestone Semi Slicks and gets about 10Tkm out of them,which is great.Dave made a good point about alignment though.If you have an aggressive camber or a heavy car itīs obvious that the tires will wear more quickly than a light car.Everyone has their own preference for which tire is best.Driving style,damper selection and engine performance also plays a role in which tire works the best.There are just so many factors that depend on each individual needs or preference that you canīt really say "this tire works best" and you have try which tire you think is best for you.Some put more emphasis on stability during braking because they prefer to brake later,generally they give up corner speed for it or those that brake less but therefore earlier use a little more corner speed and prefer traction during acceleration out of the corner.Itīs not a coincidence that tires are a huge issue in racing and decide each race.Most of us I would think need a comprimise since weīre not Sebastian Vettel and donīt have tire sponsors and require a tire that is also good on the street.If you have the luxury of beeing able to take a second set of rims+tires to the track with you,than itīs a different story.It would suck however,if you have really sticky semi slicks that are great for the track and then it rains or it rains on the way home,then youīre even slower than if you were to run a good street tire.
