Pick my tires

Car is an '85 GS. I will be running 15x8 rims with a +25 offset, and a 1" adapter, so realistically a +0 offset.

Looking for a 205/50r15 tire that will last as a daily driver. I also want performance. Here is what I am looking at.

Hankook Ventus V2 Concept $304 a set

Kumho Ecsta AST $312 a set (have on my P5)

Falken Ziex ZE-912 $316 a set

Nitto Neogen $324 a set

Yokohama S-Drive $444 a set

Dunlop Direzza ZII $492 a set

Kumho Ecsta XS $496 a set

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11A $502 a set

I know it's a long list, but that is realistically what is in my price range. My Kumho Ecsta AST hold up okay on our shitty roads. They seem to have worn pretty fast for a 400 rated tire.

I will be driving about 30-35 miles a day on these.

Its hard to pick from a list like that when you say you want a tire that lasts as a dd and want performance. You literally have listed the best performance summer tire on the market (direzza z2) and some older basic shitty performance tires on the list. Apples vs oranges. A good in between tires will be the hankook evo imo. The re-11 isnt as good as the direzza grip wise as it was a competitor for the older z1 and the yoki s-drive is outdated also so def scratch that off the list. No performance summer tire will last as long as the escta ast.
