it's my daily driver, but i do like to drive it aggressively from time to time and i did a little autocrossing when i had my old civic si, so i'll possibly be doing a little of that too.

Remember these are Ultra High Perf Tires, you really can't expect to get more than 10-15k out of them with aggresive driving. If you use them as your daily driver and are worry about wet grip or even snow. It might benefit you to pick up another set of rims for those days and save the good tires for the track. Go into the tires and wheels forum lot's of posts about what folks recommend for daily usage.
