Question tire recommendations

I need some recommendations on good tires.
now not just everyday city flat road stop and go with freeway driving...i need something a little more.
the roads i drive everyday to and from work are rough , twisty , hilly , back ranch and canyon roads.
and i also use them to autocross.
i have had my car for 2 years and allready needing my third set of tires.
the first set was the stock Yokos and the other 2 were Yokohama ES100's.
i want something with strong sidewalls and edge tread since thats what goes the fastest.
i now have a extra set of rims so i will be getting a seperate set for aoutcrossing...that will cut down on the wear.
i am open to all options from the basic to the radical.


and before anyone asks...i do rotate them regularly each month and keep them alighned

For what's available in your size, the Yokohama ES100 is the best way to go. I don't think you would be disappointed at all with that tire.

well...in little less than a year and a half i have burnt through 2 pairs of Yokohama es100's.

i am pleased with their grip and middle tread wear but the utside tread is so thin to start with it just dissapperes too quick and i lose all my outer tread and grip wich is very important to me
