Track tire advice
I will be doing some open lapping this summer in a WC prepped C5 Z06 (pictured at left). I can run just about any size 18" tire. I'm looking for a track only tire that will give good wear and stick over several days of use. Toyo Proxes RA1? Hoosier, Kumho, Yokos? Which ones? I don't need max grip as I also want some durability.
I've run used Goodyear slicks in the past, but I'm wondering if any of the above might prove a better choice for the $$.

Melting Slicks
I use Toyo's RA1 tires. You will get about 6 track days out of them. I believe, but not proven that they are about 1 second slower then a Kumho V710 on a sixty second track.
