Tires DUNLOP or GT Radial

I have high praise for their overall quality. I owned a set of Savero HT2 all seasons and ran them on an older Explorer. They wore like iron; outstanding quality.

The Dunlop Direzza ZIII is worth looking into. A close friend has half a season of autocross and 4 time trial events (So about 17 twenty to 30 minute long sessions) on his ZIII in a 2013 NC and they still have life left. For autocross they're basically a less grippy Re-71R, but they come into their own on track.

Dunlop direzza zIII's good wear 9/10 traction never get greasy, great stiff feel and break away.

Once the q4s are over like, 70 degrees, or basically u ride a few miles on the turns gently, they'll be warm enough and will stick like glue.

We tried a set on our HS Civic, then onto my codrivers CS NC. They're notably off pace from other 200tw (down in grip even to the RS-RR), but they wore like iron and communicated at the limit. Very solid for the money.

I did 15k mi on a rear Dunlop RoadSmart II and 25k on the front.

My rear tire lasts 12000 miles or 20000 kilometers easily, the front probably more.

I think the dunlops will wear out faster than the michelin , in my experience .

40f is like ice skates . I drove in 4 inches on dunlops in my 18 wrx , wow , that was a challenge

Below 40F the tires get hard and lose grip. Add a little bit of snow and they are slick as fuck. The awd helps but the overall loss of traction makes driving sketch as fuck.
