Advan Neova AD07s for me. You can get a few track events out of them no problem, and they wear well on the street.

I ran about 15 autocross events on them, plus a half dozen track days. They still have about half their life left.

One thing is that they are damn loud. (I have 255's on 17x9's on all 4 corners though) Still, they are loud, sticky bastages of a tire.

That's a lot of use. And I assume since they are street tires they will wear out before they heat-cycle out. Can you comment on how they compare with a hard R-compound like Toyo or Kuhmo?

Very similar to RA1's in that they stick very well, and are fairly firm, but have a limit and let you know before they get too greasy... Not sure about how comparable they are to a V700, but they are supposed to be similar to RA1s. They don't seem to be affected by heat cycling.

The Advan Neovas are great tire if you want to drive to the track, drive home, and still have a tire that will pretty much keep up with the other similar cars running R's, or passing lesser talented drivers with much more impressive equipment.
