Default Need a recommendation for a track biased street/track tire

What I mean is a tire that will be ok on the street (ok on wet pavement and don't care about the noise, and decent tread ware rating 150+), but great on the track.

I need to use this tire to get to and from a track, and not really worried about wet handling characteristics nor how much noise it makes.

Looking to spend $100-$125/tire for 225/45/17.

Here is my list so far, please add accordingly.

Kumho Victoracers
Falken Azenia Sports
Toyo Proxies (don't know which one)
Yok A032R

TIA

Default Yep

Comes up once a week.

Price is no object:
BFG KD/ToyoR/Falken sport

Reverse the list if money is a concern.

i think the Victoracers are ok for about 30miles. if you need to go farther go with the Azenis

Default living in so-cal i didnt see much rain, but they were suprisingly well behaved when wet

overall grip was noticably reduced, though deep standing puddles didn't seem to upset them too much
