This is what I did. I went with HTR ZIII's because I wanted tires with a lower limit (compared with EP category tires), but would have decent heat tolerance at the track. They've been great. Audible feedback, passable wear, and will take some track abuse. And cheap.

I've got a set of 235 width NT05's next. Mainly for more heat tolerance.

And to OP's question, I switched back to stock Turanzas for the winter. I will say, the lower limits are more exploitable on the street. Fun for the off-season, but I'm ready for summer tires now.

What offset are the wheels and what size tire do you intend to mount?

I was thinking with going with 235's or 245's in the rear. For the offset, I think it's +53.
