Yeah, any of those are good. Pirelli make some great street/track tires as well so don't discount them. Diablo Supercorsa SP, Diablo Rosso Corsa or the Diablo Rosso II, they're all good performers with the SP being most track oriented and Rosso II leaning more towards street.

Re: Race tires = hockey pucks?

If you want something slightly more aggressive see if someone has a set of Power One Commercial tires on clearance - they wear like iron for a hypersport tire - the pures don't suck either

I did find the Bridgestone street tires have a very stiff sidewall, which I thought was suprising...didn't like them so much personally

but ya these days if you stick to the reputable manufacturers it's hard to go wrong
