Since I don't run slicks and rains as I am just too slow a wrench to change over in the pits, I only run DOTs on track. Which means I want tires that are nice and sticky in the hot and dry (and I do use warmers), but are very reliable and offer good feedback in the cool and wet. Lots of the higher end DOT offerings are very close to a street legal slick and are not much better than that in rain or on a cold track day. I had really good luck on the Battlax sets I ran for several years, but also had no issues with my Mitas Sportforce the last two seasons.This winter I managed a great buy on a set of Pirelli Diablo Corsas and I'll be running them as soon as the season starts. They have a really nice looking (wide) shoulder contact patch which I think will give almost slick-like cornering grip, and wide enough sipes to allow for decent stability and grip in the wet. I have yet to run into wear issues since my season isn't all that long or busy but sounds like the multi compound can only help out for consistent patterns in that department. All my other tires have had really decent wear right to the edges so I don't foresee any problems. Should be very little adjustment needed on my part as to overall feel and turn-in or exits from what I can see without actually running them yet.
