Are you guys saying that your choice of tires is for longevity or for performance. Everyone likes tires to last as long as possible if you are going straight but can the tires handle curves at high speeds? Will that eliminate some choices.
What do you recommend for CTX performance on the curves
Longevity v Performance aren't always mutually exclusive. Also, straight v curves arent ither. It may help to go back to the "patch" dynamics of a bike to revisit this and help with tire options and performance.
Many tires have dual compounds, especially for heavy and high performance bikes. This address "curve v straight V longevity, etc in a complex but very beneficial manner.
Also, given cycle dynamics ( back to the patch approach) breaching the tire capability in any manner is related to many factors in any riding situation.
There are also the radius of the tire, its wet weather characteristics , feel, etc etc (ad infinitum)
And if that aint enough there is rating... speeding down a desert road on a low rated tire is a very , hmm, "poppy" situation on the wrong tire...
Oh, and riding style gets even more complex, certain riders can threshold that tire enough to compensate for impending loss of traction due to "feel" , while others need a forgiving tire ( with larger patch design ) for a wider band of forgiveness when your at a threshold.
Kinda overwhelming, really, all the factors in buying a tire.
