Boxster Track Day Tires

I have a 2000 2.7 with stock rims and Nitto Motivo tires. 205/50 front and 255/40 rear. I have had the car 5 years and do a lot of spirited driving in the mountains around Sacramento. I recently did my first track day with five 20 minute sessions. What I realized was the car has significant under steer and is very slippery on those tires. So I bought a set of used rims and now I ready to purchase a set of tires. I have pretty much settled on 225/45 fronts and 255/40 rears. The 225's up front should help my under steer. However, I am completely in the weeds on what brand to buy. I don't want to get tires that are completely above my experience and driving level because I want to learn to drive correctly. I'm about to pull the trigger and buy Toyo R1R's. I am on a limited budget and cannot afford to make a big mistake here. I can buy 1 set of track tires but I have to get the right ones. Any help for a 68 year old who's spending his retirement on tires?
