Seems like this is always changing, I have to make a recommendation to a buddy. He drives an '00 WS6 TA and likes the occasional autox/RR school. Recommendations? Price is not as important as quality, performance and *some* durability.

I use the Nitto 555R IIs as street tires, but then I don't drive it much in the rain either (although they do fine in the rain as long as they have tread). They are actually one of the best tires I've ever used as far as ride comfort and noise level, and thre grip level is outstanding (both lateral and putting the power down). The last set I had (on my 92 Vette) lasted about 10K miles of combined street/track use before I retired them to track only use (were just past the wear bars).
