Well, it sounds like as a driver's ed car, you would be driving it on the street to get to the track. Not trailered to events. Is that correct?
If so, I would suggest a slick would be inappropriate for your application. You should be looking at probably dot-legal radials in the ultra-high or "max" summer performance category, (

(E.g.:

I'm sure you'll find plenty of 17" options that fit whatever wheels you happen to have or prefer.
Since you're not competing, finding the "best" tire isn't really that important. So, don't sweat it... have fun!
