Kumhos....can't beat their performance for the price. I have their ultra-perf all weather tires in 285s in the front and the new ECSTA XS in 335s on the back and they're awesome.

If you already have MT DRs on 16 inch wheels for the track, I suggest doing what I did. Get some $98 Sumitomos for everyday driving since they're not for performance anyway and throw on your DRs when heading to the strip. If you are concerned about autocross, I don't have any experience there but it seems like the Nittos are the way to go.
