what are the best performance tires? NOT DRAG RADIALS

What are the best performance tires available? I'm not talking about drag radials, or strictly race tires. I'm asking about daily driver tires.

what size?

there are more 18" and 19" choices that are better than what you can get in a 20"..

I see your in the local of my shop. I suggest P Zero Rossos or the Nitto Invos for comfort and thread wear. For very spirited driving we use NT05 and PS2 but they wear QUICK.

Invos are a good value. We have customers getting 20k+ on them

Continental Extreme Contact DWS (if you can find them!!) have a very high treadwear rating and are getting great reviews here on the board.

I have seen a couple of tire comparison tests that put Vredestein Sessanta ahead of more popular performance tires such as Pirelli PZeros and Michellin PS2s. They are very well priced too. The only problem is they don't offer a lot of sizes. I know they have 275s and 315s that fit but I don't think they make a 245 for the Camaro.
