Default what tires for daily/weekend warrior?

i searched a little and couldnt really find an good answer. im looking for some front tires for my accord with an h22 swap and bolt on's. i need a tire that will hook up well at the track but i can still drive on daily. im not concerned about wet traction or treadwear too much, ill be happy if they last around 10k. im going to me mounting them on a set of stock alloys from a newer accord, they're 15x6 wheels. i think i need about a 205/50/15.

i see that dunlop has a new drag radial out, anyone have any opinions on them? also what are some good places to get tires online other then tirerack.

IMO, falken azenis are what i use, they hook up pretty good. I also have tried the nitto 555R's those are really good tires but they do not last very long, if i had the money i would stick with the 555R's.

they only lasted me 1000 miles... without any burnouts or track days. just frequent breaking loose in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd gear... also they didnt go straight for ****, it was all over the road. i now am using azenis, dont hook as well but handle ALOT better and arent showing any wear.

i am going to try the 235/60/15 MT's next i think.
