The two best sticky street tires that I've used on the track were Kumho Ecsta XS and Hankook Ventus RS-3. I did 24 track days on these two sets of tires last year before I moved up to R-compound tires. The Kumho's rode a little smoother but the RS-3's had a tad more grip. Both are very predictable.

My Michelin PS2's were good on the track but became slippery/greasy feeling when they got really hot and I'd have to slow down for a few laps to let them cool a bit to get the grip to come back. Not so with the Kumho Ecsta XS or Hankook Ventus RS-3.

My car is completely stock but does have a performance alignment to get as much negative camber as possible.
