Default DD Tire Choice for 991.1 GT3?

Any recommendations for DD tires for the GT3? The SportCups probably aren't a wise choice....I love driving this car and with the addition of the express lanes here in ATL I can drive 70+ for nearly all of my 37 mile one way commute. So recommendations on a good tire with decent wear that doesn't suck if it rains? I'll obviously switch back to the Cups when I track it, so useable for both isn't a concern.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4s your best bet IMO as i'm thinking on putting them on my 991.2GT3,,Plus the bonus of being Porsche approved N spec in the GT3 sizes..

The Continental is a great choice. It has become a very popular 911 tire. It is not quite at the dry cornering point that the Michelin or Bridgestone is, but for 95% of driving the tire gives more than adequate performance. For just a few dollars more, the Bridgestone would be my pick. The S007A is a newer tire, but everyone really loves the steering response.

You can't go wrong with any of the three.
