Best track tyres

Considered the tyres are only used on the track and they have to last at least 3 track days.
Which one below should I choose?
Michelin Cup 2, Bridgestone RE-71R, Hankook Ventus R-S4, Yokohama AD08 R, or Federal 595RS?

p.s. c63s sedan with 19" stock wheels

Like I said in your other post, I wouldn’t recommend running r compound tires with your experience and especially not on a stock suspension setup. The way the Sport Cup 2 is constructed, you’ll need to run a lot of negative camber to prevent prematurely wearing out the outside edge of the tire. You won’t be able to get the amount of negative camber (-2.5 to -3.5) without installing camber plates.

All of the other tires you’ve listed fall in the extreme performance category. The “best” will be a differ from person to person and economics will have a huge piece to play. I’m sure most will say the the RE-71R is the best tire out of the bunch. It’s will probably also be the most expensive as well. That’s the tire I use to run on my F80 M3 and would get 2-3 track weekends on a set depending on how much time track time I got during each event.

A lot of pol seem to find the Federal 595RS the best bang for the buck. They are quite a bit cheaper than the RE-71R and wear much better than the RE-71R. Of course that will come with a trade off in ultimate lap time. Most say they are a couple seconds a lap slower than the RE-71R.
