I think it's pretty well established that for track performance semi-slicks are best. Toyo Proxes R888, Advan A048, Avon has something similar, too. They have very soft rubber, meaty sidewalls, but are also driveable (carefully) in the wet. But they are noisy, bumpy, and wear fast. (Federal 595 RS-R are a good budget alternative if you can find it, I've heard).
