I have Ecsta 712s and they have a 280 tread wear rating and stick very well, dry and wet, but not as well as the KDW, I think, based on Tire Rack tests....but they are much cheaper.
Victoracers have a 50 as in FIFTY wear rating and come with only 4 or 5/32nd tread to begin with. I watched a guy wear out a bunch of the life of his brand new Victoracers in a single six-run autocross...and he drives a lightweight Miata. I wonder how many events you could get in a front-heavy Contour!! They are good for 3-4 seconds on a 1 minute course, though!
