If you want sticky tires, then you better give up looking for good wear. High grip and long tread life are not compatible.

From what I've heard, the RT 615 has the best dry grip of the three you listed, and the worst wet grip. But that's from what I've heard. I've also heard that the MXs have the best wet traction and high temperature resistance. Any of these three tires will give you some of the best dry traction available anywhere, but they are not intended to offer long treadwear. You can wear these tires out in a couple of weeks on autox, or you can stretch them out. 80% of how long they last is how they are driven.

I've got 30K on 225 45 17 MXs and will buy another set soon. I like the balance of extremely good dry traction and decent wet traction on the MX. I drive the tires all year long where there is plenty of winter rain, but no snow.
