Default Best Track Tyres for 18 x 8 rims?

Looking to buy a set of sticky rubber for track and tarmac rally events.

Currently have 235 45 P Zero Nero's at each corner which are amazing and offer crazy turn in speeds and controlled slides to reduce understeer however i know they could not hold a candle to the real track day stuff.

What do the wise ones of the Tuning World suggest?

Thanks for your time and input =)

I run the RA1 for track days. Cheap and work fine. Hoosiers if you NEED to win.

I have Found the New Kumho Ecsta V70A really good.

Many guys you have been using Bridstone/yoko have switched to the Kumho and reported longer life and tires dont seem to overheat as easy as others.<ul><li><a href="http://www.kumho.com.au/">http://www.kumho.com.au/</a</li></ul>
