Street/track tire for 16 x 9's

I posted this on the technical board as well.

To cut to the quick: I like my 9's on my SC. I am seeking input from those who DON'T want to change wheels for AX/DE/Track.

Need 245/45/16's.

Considering Hankook z212/s (200 TW, a true street tire that is kinda soft), Continental Sport Contact (160 TW), Sumitomo HTRZ (160 TW, very cheap, must be a reason), and Toyo Ra1's.

Seek reasonable stickiness with reasonable wear. I currently have Kumho Ecsta 212's. 280 TW. Very slippery. Don't like 'em.

Does anybody have any feedback? Would like to get a year and 5000 miles out of these tires. I do 12-14 AX's, 4 DE days, and 4 track days a year, the remainder being pleasure driving with OCCASIONAL wet roads/track.

Thanks. My head hurts from all the thread sifting.

Scott
