The long lasters (shave to 4/32nds)  
 **Toyo RA-1**  
 **Kumho Victoracers** (I think they are phasing out V700s)  
**Hankook Z212s** in C30 compound

The go fasters (they take a skilled foot to get a long life out of them)  
 **Hoosier R3S06** (04s and 05s are on sale @ [hoosiertire.com](http://hoosiertire.com))  
 **Kumho V710s**  
 **Hankaook Z214s**

Or do what I do, buy them so cheap it doesn’t matter if they last for two track days…
