Default Street/track tires

What would be the best tire option for a 90% street (dry) /10% track use?
I know the best solution is to go with 2 different sets of tires but I do not want to invest in competition tires as I only race 5 to 10 times a year.

Thanks hecash.
I'm considering going with the OEM wheels. BTW this post was also addressed to Jim from Tirerack.

I'm trying out Toyo RA-1s as a summer/track tire; I'll switch to SO-3s for the long rainy season. This is on 17" CE28Ns.

I'll let everyone know how I like them in a few weeks, and how well I can make them last at the end of the summer...

i use the pilot sports on my e36 m3 as they were recommended by a tirerack rep as an excellent road tire with very good track predictability and wear. Since that car understeers quite a bit, the outer edges on the front tires feather a lot. i like the so2s on the s2000 for both road and track use since their sidewall is extremely stiff, even though they in general dont last as long on the street.
