Bridgestone RE01-R. probably the best tires that i have used on the track without going to an Rcomp.

The Hoosiers R6's would be the stickiest. I would say that the BF Goodrich R1's w3ould be easier to drive faster if you are a rookie. If I can help let me know.

Do you have S02s on there now? I love those tires when I go to the track.

S02s work good on the street they will just wear out after 7-10k miles. They are OK in rain but not good for standing water. Do you get lots of heavy rain in Illinois?
