-BF Goodrich G-Force KDW loud, $$, not as good as others
-Pirelli P-Zero Corsa NOT a street tire
-Yokohama Advan Neova AD04 (very expensive...but very nice!!) Do you mean AD08?
-Yokohama A048 NOT a street tire
-Toyo R888 NOT a street tire
-Falken Azenis RT-615 3 year old tech, just say no!
-Kumho Ecsta XS (KU36) An ok tire, but not as good as others
-Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 good tire
-Dunlop Direzza Star Spec good tire
-Hankook Ventus V12
-Hankook RS2 or RS3 RS2 is gone, RS3 is "who the hell knows"

You've left off the NT-05... and AD08... and you've mixed r-comp with street tires... I think you need to search and read a bit more.

Then maybe you should read a bit more before presenting a big long list. Read on here... there are easily 10 topics in the last month regarding this topic.

ETA: "Street Legal" != street tire. R-compound = race tire.

Oh... and

does not exist.

Good tires (meaning grippy) wear quickly and tend to cost more than crappy tires that last a long time. You're going to have to make a tradeoff somewhere.

look......I know that tires like these wear off rapidly...but there might be some that wear off less quickly than others....

and if you have nothing better or more constructive to say about one of the tires I wrote in the list....well.....I'll let you guess

everybody else here wrote something that can help without trying to make me look ignorant.
