Treadwear vs traction

I have two sets of tyres. 1 has treadwear as 60 the other 100. Both traction is AA

Which is the stickier and which the harder? Which is better for short duration, quick warm up, i.e. sprints and which is better for track day use?

60 is sticky
100 is less so (but still sticky)

That's what I found. 100 is 888s 60 is A048s

I have found it to be the other way round with previous A048s being quite hard. Maybe these are a different ompound. I'll have to give them a try.

They must be the soft 048's.

From experience of using both so far I have to say that I prefer the 048's

For track use I agree, but sprints is 888 territory, or was :?:
