That is a can of worms I don’t think I want to open. I try to track my car for 2 days every 3-4 weeks and since I can’t afford a spare set of Hoosiers and rims the good news is that it sounds like I can’t go wrong with either tire manufacture or the sizes I am looking at.

well definitely then, I recommend the Yokohama Neova AD-08 in 295/255. That is what I run for the street and intended to use for wet track days. I switched to them today when it was wet for the first session at Road Atlanta and wound up running them all day. As luck would have it, it cleared up and was dry all day. They performed almost as well as my all out track tires, never coming near the limit of adhesion and I pushed them fairly hard. They were designed as a true dual purpose tires and the Yoko rep told me they can handle 180 degree heat cycles all day. I am so impressed after running them all day, that I might ditch the track wheels and tires altogether.
