Default Replacing Michelin Pilot Sport Cups

I presently have Michelin PSC's sizes 345 30 ZR18 and 295 ZR18 on my C6 Z06. They need replacement and I need to stay with these sizes. Michelin no longer makes the 345 30 ZR 18.
I drive this car to track events on these tires and wheels, drive home and replace the wheels with my stock rims and tires. Trailering is not an option. Has anyone run R compound tires of other brands in these sizes for track use and had good luck with them? Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

You could get Hoosiers and groove them.

Or you could get stock wheels and run MPSC (325x30x19) and (285x30x18). This is what I currently have .....

Toyo R888
285/30/18 335/30/18 should work for you?
The RA1 and R888 are GREAT tires.

You can get the RA1 in 275/35/18 and 335/30/18
