Default Help me decide on tires

Car is mostly daily driver with a couple of track days this year. I hope to get a set of rims and tires for track use only but for now I need new shoes on the front for track event in a couple of weeks.

I need to replace Fuzions with some dry rot on front.
I have Firehawk Wide Ovals (discontinued) on rear in fairly good shape. The pattern most closely matches their current run flats which mine are not.

Stock rims on 1993 Base, fronts are 255/45 R17. Within budget my choices seem to be:

1) BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2

2) Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500

3) Continental ExtremeContact DW

Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I just put some on my narrow body C6 and they can hold going wide open in second gear with 578rwhp. They ride smooth and quiet.
