For the street the Sumi HTR Z III can't be beat for value.
Going with a BFG G-Force R1 track only tire I imagine is another huge jump in performance but then we are talking a UTQG rating of 40 and at that point the car is likily to need other mods to handle the huge grip potential.

Actually Hankook RS-3 are very comparable in price to Max Summer Tires like S0-4 and Super Sports. They are also a great value.
Yep, R1s need lots of negative camber and stiffer suspension to control the contact patch. Generally running R-comps to full effect requires about $4k or more in suspension work. Otherwise you just eat up the outer shoulders and kill em in one day.
It's a slippery slope I have slid down many times.
