I'm looking through tire selections here and i'm trying to pin the difference between the Continental Extreme Contact DW's and the MPSS's. I don't want some tire that will last like 10k miles here.

I bought my camaro used with 16k miles on it and the tires were pretty decent still but i have absolutely no idea if they were the 2nd set or not but the car was in near perfect condition so i don't think the guy drove it hard. I'm now at 25.5k miles and the tires finally have literally 0 tread left on em, its like driving with some drag radials. So, i need new tires.

Now i'm trying to not pay so much attention to the rating of 8.3 treadwear on tirerack for the MPSS's and the 7.8 for the Continentals. They are different tires so i can see it being like this:

MPSS have treadwear of 8.3 but because of the tire being ultra high performance might mean 8-10k miles.

Continentals have treadwear of 7.8 but arent ultra high performance so those tires might last 15k-20k miles.

I'd rather have the longer lasting tires if it means a little performance loss.

I do not drag race, but i will hit the track a few times just for fun but no burn outs for traction. I do drive spirited probably 10% of the time. Meaning a nice launch from a stop here and there or punching it when i'm already on the go is what i usually do to avoid tire screeching. Also still learning how to handle this thing so yeah.
