I'm torn between sticky tires (AD08R, Ecsta XS) or performance tires (RE002, Advan Sport V105...): my main concern is to not destroy the latter type on a few laps because of overheat.
EDIT: Car is currently stock, I will upgrade soon pads + lines + fluid, and eventually add a little drop (lowest as possible) but it won't happen soon. Stock power. I'll also do like 8k KM on street every season, so my plan is to have each set of tires for 2 seasons and change it before it becomes old.

Just tested the new Maxxis VR-1's this weekend. Held up very well with 2+* camber in 35* heat all day on a "stockish" 86. They'll be released in June. Treadwear 140
For the other choices, check out the tirerack video comparing AD08, XS, RE11 and Direzza's. I've never driven any of them on an 86 so others will hopefully chime in with their opinions.

Hope this helps
