Stickiest tires I had were on the Cobra. Goodyear Bluestreaks. I hated driving the gravel driveway with those since it threw the gravel into the wheel well and it sounded like a hail storm from underneath. They were soft and sticky though. They had no tread wear rating since they were a treaded race tire. The tread lasted longer than the rubber sidewalls because they didn't have the preservatives of a DOT street tire. You could get a couple years of street use. Some guys were getting 2 weekends of track time with them. Ouch.
Would love a set of Avons but they are $500 per. The MT Sportsman are 1/4 that and are fine on the street.
Merry new year!
