I am looking for good track tires/street tires.

I am planning to be on the track three more times this summer and I am hoping that they will not be shot after these three track days.
The stock Pilots worked well but they did not last very long.
Thanks in advance.
Tire longevity and track performance are not 2 things you will get in the same tire. If you want as good or better performance as the PS2s then expect them to last about the same amount. I am guessing that I will only get 3 track days and about 5000km out of the Nitto NT05s. They are way better on the track then the PS2s though. That being said the tread depth on them is on 6/32. I think the RE11 may be a better tire on a heavy car likes ours since it has an 8/32 tread and supposidly has similar performance to the NT05. I will probably try out RE11s later this summer.
