Canyon and hill country roads. I’d imagine Tail of the Dragon would do it too.

personally I just can't stand the soft conti sidewalls.
You won't destroy a set of PS4S with 10k miles of city driving. 1,000 miles of over-driving tail of the dragon on stock camber, sure.
If you're driving hard enough to wear out PS4S in 13k, none of the other tires mentioned are going to last 10k.

Updated my original post with more detailed info on each of the tires I've had experience with.

Yep. A PS4S/ESC should be more than enough tire to have a great time on those roads. Hell, I had fun on PS4 all seasons on the BoTD here in VA. Did ToTD a bunch on the ECSs without issue. I can't imagine that destroying a set of high perf. tires like this?

It's usually alignment related. A bad alignment will kill a set a tires super quick. I had a toe adjuster bolt slip so I had over a 1/2" of toe, and it corded the tires in under 2,000 miles.

If rainy days are in the daily driving picture I’d go RT 660 over V730.
My son has taken a set of RT660 down to their wear bars (fronts) in roughly 6 months of daily driving after only one track day and a handful of autox.
I still use old school Pirelli PZero (220tw) for most of my daily driving- they can actually handle HPDE daily decently and autox- just don’t expect to turn the fastest times with them.

Spent a long weekend on TotD with PS4S. Rained one day and everyone else on track tires was slow AF. Guys I was with were chewing up tires, but that's what stock camber will do on a road like that.

since your on the subject I got a like new set for sell....
Look at any SSC car with a good driver. We took the same car, 2 drivers and swapped tires back and forth on practice day (generally 33 second course). Lowest gap was 0.9 but we could barely feel it.

I saw these the week you posted them in the classifieds. I want them! But shipping will ruin the cost/benefit since I’m in central TX and your over in Cali.
For some reason, all the good, gently used wheels and tires are being sold out of your state.
Those PSC2s would be perfect for how I drive.
