Street Legal 200 UTQG Tires for HPDE

I’ve decided I want some tires with more grip for HPDE’s. I drive my car to and from the track, a car trailer or tire trailer are not in my future. My street tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. My first choice for the track tires is the Yokohama A052. But, they are currently unavailable in my rear size, 265/35-18. My shop is going to contact their Yokohama rep next week to see what they can find out about availability. In the meantime, these alternatives are available in my sizes-Dunlop Direzza, Falken Azentis 615+ and Falken Azentis 660. I only have the Tire Rack tests and recommendations to go by. If the Yokohamas aren’t going to be available for a while, does anyone have any recommendations from these or something else available in stock Boxster 18 inch wheel sizes? Michelin Cup 2’s are also available but don’t seem to be too good in the rain from the Tire Rack tests.

Good grip in the rain and noise are considerations because I will have to drive to and from the track and do get caught in the rain on these trips. If I need to wait for the Yokohama to be available I can, the 4S is no slouch.
