Saw this on the BRracing site the other day. It's actually discussing tires for a 135i street driven time attack car, but I figured the brand characteristics may be of interest.

TRACK tires -

You want the best grip, last a long time, and have a VERY progressive break-away (this is key for most drivers), then go with - TOYO R888

You want track tires, but you have to stay above a tread wear rating of 180 for rules reasons (like the GTGP rules), then go with - Yokohoma AD08 or Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1

You want the plain best track tire, without moving to full slicks – and realize they won’t last as long as Toyo’s – then go with - Hoosier R8
