I'm using the stock 18" wheels for HPDEs. Currently running the first set of PS2s that came with the car, but will need new tires soon. I plan on doing around 8-10 days per year and have a low-intermediate skill level. R-Comps are not an option at this point even if they did fit the wheels.... I still have a lot to learn. I'm looking for good performance, but don't necessarily want to break the bank (Pirelli).
Given the above, which of these tires would you recommend:
Michelin PS2
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
Yoko Advan AD08
Bridgestone Pole Position RE-050A
Other?
Also, I believe some of these tires are directional. I want to have the ability to switch the wheels from one side of the car to the other if a track is particularly hard on one side. Is the directionality really and issue if you are in dry track conditions? I've read and heard mixed things on this.
Thanks for your help!
