Default Recommendations for Road Course Track Tires????

I just corded my left front Hoosier R6 after only 3 weekends of track events (6 days).

I had always gotten better longevity with the Kumho VictoRacer V700 tires, but am not sure they are still available.

What do you all recommend in the way of Road Course Track tires?

Thanks.

Take a set of front wheels and send them off to Weldcraft to have them widened to 10.5". Use these new widened wheels on the rear. Now you will have 18" all around and that opens up all kinds of tires. You could run the Victoracers again or try the harder Falken Azenis RT615's.
