Auto-X tires and brakes

I'm getting ready for some Auto-X with some new tires and brakes.

Its also a daily driver so I have another set of Rims for the race tires.
I have a few decisions to make that I could use some opinions on.

Picked out some new brake pads on Amazon (~$275 for all), I'm thinking EBC Yellow Stuff although Redstuff is probably also fine for the 1 day a month Auto-X (~$40 less than yellow).
(I read that some folks have brake squeal while street driving perhaps due to incomplete bedding process?)

EBC USA_Automotive_Catalogue_2016

For the tires I'm thinking Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R
255/4?-17 on the rear and 225/4?-17 for the fronts.
However could the fronts be 235/4?-17 and do even better?

Any suggestions, alternates or comments on these options?
