I wouldnt run RE55s and the like as your daily tyres, thier life will be measured almost in hours lol
Like Shane said I use federal 595RS's they are pretty good, far better grip than any of the road tyres I have used (K104s, T1R's Ect) and they seem to be wearing pretty well, I have had then since July and I drive 90km each way to work everyday I have also done 1 trackday and a few "mountain cruises" and they are still well over 50%
As a road going semi slick I would say they are close to the best compromise between wear and grip
