Went to TireRack's survey poll, and it looks like Bridgestone S-03s and Michelin PS2s got the highest marks (but in a variety of car types on street use). Can anybody with track experience illuminate me on a good street/track tire? Cost and wear are of interest, but tire performance is what I'm trying to uncover. thanks.

Toyo Proxes RA-1.
I recommend them wholeheartedly for Track, Autocross and street use(yes even in the rain, excellent no hydroplaning). I can name about half a dozen other P-car drivers including instructors who have nothing but praise for this tire.
I personally did not want to change tires between track and driving home, neither do I have the space for a tire tail or hitch. An excellent track tire that is safe on the street.
They aren't cheap $240 a piece for the front (245x18) and $260 rears (275x18).
Try bobwoodmantires they have excellent pricing.
