Default Need new tires to replace GY F1 D3s

Time to unload my Goodyear F1 D3's due to age rather than tread. I've been looking at the , The Hankook V12's, Nitto Invo, and BF Goodrich KDW2. Besides price, all of them have pros / cons. One of my concerns is road noise. My D3's are very quiet, great handling in both dry and wet. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore, otherwise I would get these tires again

I was also going to look into the michelin super sports, but they don't make them in my size.

I'm running 18's all around. 275/35 front and 295/35 in back.

As far as usage, I'll probably do 1 or 2 road course events a year. other than that will be normal city/highway driving and road trips

What is a comparable tire to replace with ? Any other brands that I should consider?

Thanks for any recommendations

I sure like my Vredesteins. Plus, they are made in Europe.
