[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1250156, member: 19880"] I agree, but... There are some new(er) tire compounds that retain (or improve) the "stick", are decent in the rain and last longer than previous versions. Addition of more silica to the compound is one thing that is being done. I'm sure there are a bunch of other changes in compounds and/or thermal treatment that could improve longevity without sacrificing performance. I suspect the major manufacturers have some tricks up their sleeves that they won't release until there is a (competitive) reason to do so. It is NOT in their best interest to produce a very long-lived performance tire unless they have to in order to maintain market share. Tire wear and ultimate performance are not necessarily mutually exclusive. [/QUOTE]
