Well Extreme Tyres with W3 compound are TW50 tyres with optimal operating temperatures (tire temperatures) between 0 and 30 deg C (30F to 85F) and tire temperature will always be higher than outside temps. That's mostly area where I'm looking for performance gains. While it's understandable that I won't find anything spectacular with reasonable treadwear maybe it's still possible to find something spectacular with unreasonable treadwear, something useless both in summer due to disintegrating from heat and useless in winter due to not being winter tire but excellent between 0 and 15 deg C outside. Considering it's gonna be my 3rd set of tires I wouldn't mind replacing them after like 6 months of usage I think.
They're advertised as wet rally tire / wet racing tire. I mean idk, there must be something folks use for racing at lower temps right? I mean it's not like October kicks in and all racing whatsoever ceases to exist I guess... There are races in the rain and stuff... :T Even winter tires have extreme counterparts (studded) which are apparently illegal to use on public roads but still well... they exist.
