Default what tires to run

I recently bought some 15x4 convo pros from a guy on here and im looking for some tires to run on them for track day only. I probally will drive 8 miles there and back with these . The rears are 26x11.5x16 et streets. I tried running my stock radial tires with these in it got REALLY loose so i got the car alligned and boughtthe skinnies .so now i am looking for tires to mesh with the rears. And if anyone wants to sell me some im in the market.

Then I would run Moroso DS-2s.

I had them on the front of my old Z28 and with the Bogart skinnies I could pick them up with one finger with no effort.

I think the sportsman are a bias ply. I heard they match up to the et streets i have in the rear. That is the only thing i am worried much about is matching it to the rear tires to help with the looseness you get from running diffrent bias tires. I am probally gonna go with sportsman enless someone has a better tire for me
