Michelin AS3+ non run flat and never look back.
On dry days you will be a happy school boy again.
On a rainy day you will wonder why these are not on every car you own.

I put them on my Vette and ATS.
It made the biggest difference on the ATS with noise when those runflats were gone.

OP is asking about a track tire. No way he's interested in an all season.

PROXES R888R

I've got R888R's on my 18" track wheels. They are way cheaper, I just picked up a set of rears (335/30/18) from simpletire for $637 whereas MPSS are pushing up near a grand for a pair. They are much more consistent dealing with the heat of track work. On the street they are stupidly loud.
