Four years ago I bought a set of continental contipro contacts for my E90. $1200. They are still in good shape with plenty of tread. More than 50%.
That’s what on my NB right now. I’ve put maybe 3k on them so far and haven’t had issues. I was a little skeptical of them on a Miata since they’re 500 treadwear, but for daily drivers and very limited spirited driving they’re fine. I’ve had the same tire on my wife’s Ford Escape for quite a while and they’ve been great on it, especially wet weather.
I’d go for gp5000. Lasts *way* longer, is probably similarly fast and has great puncture resistance.
Continental cross contact lx25 ????, but also keep your weather conditions in mind.
Toyo Open Country are the only tires I have run for the last 20+years. Across three 4Runners. Close to 500k miles between my ‘98 SR5, ‘05Limited and 2020 ORP. I live in Washington and do quite a bit more off roading than it sounds like you do. The Open County Toyo line has been fantastic off-road, but I love them because they are so quiet and comfortable on the highway for such a capable tire.
I commute to DIA from the Springs a LOT, and I have the AT3s. Great tire, lightweight enough to preserve MPGs, but still does well in snow. Plus they still look pretty good. Had them 20k miles now and they're still in great shape.
Continental VikingContact 7s are my recommendation. I get an average of 4m of snow, where I live, every winter, and these tires have never let me down. And they're incredibly refined at highway speeds.
I run 18” on my ‘24. Pirelli Sottozero 3 on Pretoria wheels. We have Continental VikingContact on our ‘24 Alltrack. Both great set of winter wheels for Canadian winters.
I run continental extremecontact dws 06+ on my golf. They’re the quietest tire I’ve found for the golf. The tires are ok. Not sport tires but have decent grip. Sidewall is a little soft.
R888Rs don't deserve being called a track tire in my opinion. Decent for the street guys who make power and don't want to replace tires every 2 months, but they can't touch most modern 200TWs. Not to mention they grease up super fast and will fall off halfway through a 20 minute HPDE session.
