Conti Extreme Contact 275/25/18 square....$193 right now.
Conti Extreme Contact DW 265/35/18 square..$185 right now.

Are these both that shitty of a tire?

I actually drive like a grandma in the city because I do plenty of tire shredding at the track. Well, except those sections on the freeway that look like a track...decreasing radius at 25mph posting? HAMMER IT.

Never said dw are shitty tires though. From the three years I had them, they were great on streets. Just not so good with heat when pushed hard.

I don't understand. You said they weren't good for 20-30 miles of street driving. So are they good? I came to a conclusion that I don't need great tires for the street. Just shitty ones that are decent but cheap to replace since my camber settings are -3.5 in the fronts.

For the track I use NT01s.

I was talking about R-S3 and they weren't great at doing a tons of street miles... You got my posts a bit mixed up.

DW is probably the best bang for the buck right now for street use, but if you want to save more you can look into Hankook V12 as well.

My last 3 sets of RS3 were pretty good for the street. I'm still on some right now as well.

Can't do V12, they lack too much grip IMO.
