Of course the price increases in each grade, but I'd try to match the tires and the brakes. Pretty much what I found is the tires in those groupings start to feel greasey before the brakes I suggested. The EBC Yellows will work OK with Dot 40 and R tires but they won't wear well. I get twice the track time from the Pagid on near slicks.

Good luck enjoy it's a fun track day car.

I have run EBC Yellow with both Direzza Star Spec and RE-71 with great results
RedStuff does work well, but I found YellowStuff just felt better

Shop around on Amazon and ebay as well as other websites for the best price.
I bought mine through Summit Racing as they will beat other prices by $1.00 and have great service

If you want the best performing 200TW tires, get Bridgestone RE-71's. They won't last as long as some others, but are faster that other 200TW tires. In my experience they are 2-6 seconds faster than other tires. Hankook RS-3's were the hot tire a few years ago and will last longer than RE-71's, but are not nearly as fast. As Steve mentioned, if you not concerned as much with your run times, RS-3 may be a better value as they will last longer. You will probably heat cycle them out before cording them.

Right now Costco is offering a $70 instant rebate on RE-71's, so they are a great deal. I am ordering a 2nd set
