I agree the extreme vs max vs ultra is confusing. I buy 2-3 sets of extreme tires per year from Tirerack - these are all 200 tread wear rating tires used for autocross, hill climbs and time trials. If you aren't competing in any of those events, do yourself a favor and look in the ultra category. The extreme tires wear quickly and typically generate a lot of road noise. Not what one would want in a daily driver.
I buy from Tirerack as the prices are good, customer service is outstanding, shipping is very fast and they sponsor some of the bigger events we compete in. I buy my daily driver tires from my local tire shop as I know them and like to support them, as well, since they treat me right. They know I buy my race tires from Tirerack and are happy to do all my mounting and balancing for me.
