For my DD street set, I use Firehawk Indy 500s. I did a lot of research and concluded that performance/cost was excellent for these. They are also good in the dry/wet for HPDE. However, I've had vibration issues and had the wheels/tires checked a couple times by a very reputable shop. Roadforce was 32 lbs on left rear and about 15 on the rest. They said the tire was bad and the others borderline. Might have to return under warranty.

For my HPDE set, I use Federal 595 RSR after a recommendation from my Indie shop. I'm on my second set now and I can say they are good tires for the dry track, and again, performance/price is hard to beat (~$400 for the set). Pretty similar to R-Comps, they don't communicate much until they break loose. I can get 2 sets of these vs Nitto NT01s.
