Road course only - Any road race slick...Hoosier "R" compounds work well.
Road Course/Street - BFG KD has great grip and will actually grip better as it heats up.
The main idea is to get a tire with a lot of lateral grip and a STIFF side wall. This is basically the opposite of a drag tire which has a soft side wall for grip in a straight line.

There are several "R" compound tires that are DOT approved and "can" be used on the street but they have pretty short lifespans
Nitto 555RII
Nitto NT-01
Kumho Ecsta V700
Toyo Ra-1
are a few..
Hoosier, BFG, Advan and Kumho all make great road race slicks that should not be used on the street. Hoosier is the favorite among those brands
There are also some street tires that offer great grip with better tread life, but will not perform as well as the true R compund tires
Kumho Ecsta MX
Falken RT-615
Goodyear F1 GS-D3
Michellin Pilot sport and PS2
are some of the favorites
