Default need new tires

My 03 coupe needs new shoes. It is used for autocross, some track days but mostly weekends and club events. I will use the stock rims and would like advise on tire sizes and brands. I have looked at a lot of web sites and am thinking of the Goodrich kdw's, Nitto Nt05.s, Nitto Invo's or maybe Bridgestone Pole Positions. Do not know if the NT05's will work in the rain and would like a little softer and quieter ride then the run flats. Any help would be appreciated.

I have the BFG KDs in the C5 stock size. Very good auto-cross tire in my opinion. They will not last long, especially if you auto-cross.
