Currently on 195/50 Hankook Ventus V2’s and they’ve been great. They look and perform great for a DD.
If you are looking for a pure track tire, have you looked at something like the Hankook RS4? Those seem to be very popular track tires and last well based on what I have seen.
If you want a Decent tire I would suggest the general tires 365AW grand touring tire they are 3 peak severe snow service rated touring tire with a 540 treadwear so they're not a dedicated snow tire but will do the exact same and you'll also be able to use them year round without them being too soft.
I like General tires for the most part and dislike Goodyear.
I've run about 6 sets of General Grabber ATX - good tires
Hankook Ventus Noble 2. Good W-rated tires, high skid plate rating, wears well if run a few pounds hot.
I just did the same switch about 2 weeks ago now. I agree with wet performance, they are fantastic. My two biggest differences I've noticed are the Gmax have a tendency to feel a bit floaty on very specific pavement patterns at highway speed.
I got my RX-7 a set of General Altimax RT43. For the past few thousand miles, no complaints.
Ran them on my S60 back in the day, pretty much exactly what I expected for the price. Only complaint was tread wear, but for a commuting daily they will give you plenty of life.
I never realized how bad the Kinergy GT's were until I got some Continental DWS06's. They really are a terrible tire OP, definitely worth replacing altogether
