Summer tire with good tread wear

[LivesNearCostco]

I do practice car control often! Whether I'm any good at it can be debated
I put two new Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the front, still on the RE-760 rear, which are just at the wear bars now. So far handles fine but I never push the car hard like that and haven't seen any rain since then. Once rears wear out, will replace with PSS also, maybe use those as rain tires for AutoX and track days.

Here's what the fronts looked like just before replacement. Inside edges had corded from extra negative camber. Had them flipped to get an extra 2 months life.

Yea I would not recommend different comps axle to axle to someone who doesn't practice car control.

Okay good! We don't need any Mafia Brethren spinning off the road!

It's possible once I replace the rears that my street/OEM wheels (Pilot Super Sport) will have better grip than my current track wheels (Continental XtremeDW). Which is just wrong! But I will try to fix that by getting even stickier tires for the track wheels once the Continentals wear out.

Yup. Your tire life is all backwards!

What camber are you running?

I'd find it hard to believe that you're wearing inside due to camber.

What toe are you running?

I'm running -2.3 at 0 toe and I'm still wearing my outside tires hard.

Yeah but I have two sets of wheels. The street front tires in the picture spent about half their life at -2.0° and maybe half at -2.5°. But rarely pushed hard to wear the outside edges. Almost all the hard driving happened on the other set of wheels set to -3.0° camber. Toe varied from about 1/16" toe-in to 1/16" toe-out, depending what camber settings I was using. Again most of the toe-out driving was on the track tires.

I think if I had one set for both street and track, the wear would be fairly even or even more on the outer shoulder.
