Im back again......

Is there a street tire thats in between like street and strip? Can be used on the track but ok for daily street driving(like all seansoned tires bc i do live in philly where i get rain and snow)

Think ive heard of radial sport/street tires. I just want something that provides more grip over the average tire but yet daily drivable for occasional weather

Ive been told about Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 but not sure how much grip they actually provide.

Any ideas, brands or anything close to what im looking for?

Sounds like you need a 2nd set of wheels.

Generally, drag radials should really only be used on the track. They are technically "street legal" but you'd be lucky to get 3k miles out of them, and they are an abomination in wet weather.

There is a category of tire called "high performance summer" but if you seriously want to use them in rain and snow then they really aren't your answer either.

Personally I like the Continental tires you mention, but don't expect them to perform like a drag radial or racing tire.
