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?

Bridgestone Potenza S02 is the full name. It's the OEM tire for AP1s.

RE01R's should offer much better performance and are also a LOT cheaper.
