Thanks, yeah I've read quite a bit about the different brands' compounds and tire lines, and endless reviews. It seems a lot of the better values are out of stock (shocker), but the conti sport attack's are in stock, inexpensive, and had good reviews. They're single compound but have some kind of variable heat treatment to get the center of the tire to last a little longer. Who knows how big of a difference this makes, but at $200 a pair I think it's worth a shot. I really wanted to go dunlop, but the roadsmart and roadsport were out of stock in my size, and the Q3+ sportmax are a bit out of my price range.
