Default Need tire recommendations.

My f1 sc emt tires that came on my c6 z51 are gone after 4800 miles. I don't want to replace them with the same tire due to the issues I've had with chunking on these tires. Looking at michelin ps2 (very pricey) toyo t1-r and bfGoodrich kdw2's. Has anyone used these for track events or is there a tire you would recommend for street track use. I'm not opposed to changing to different sizes but I really wanted to kept the stock wheel sizes 18f 19r

Is anyone still running street tires? Which ones and do you like the grip?

I've got >3600miles on my F1 Supercars including 3 5-run 50s autox events and six 20 minute trackday sessions at Thunderhill. I have plenty of tread left and no weird wear patterns. I start the tires at 28psi cold and run -1.1deg up front, and -0.9deg in the rear.

I'd much prefer to run Toyo RA-1s or something similar, but this is what I have for now.
