Tire recommendation (for lapping events)?

Hi posted this in the tracking, autocrossing section but got no response. I figured I might get a better response since there is more traffic here anyhow.

Quote:
Planning on attending a few lapping events 4 or 5 this summer and wanted to get a dedicated track tire, don't want a R compound tire just something that will give me better grip compared to a high performance street tire.

The 2 contenders are: Dunlop Direzza Star Spec or the Kuhmo KU36 in the 245-45-17 size (on my stock rims square setup). Very similar in price, local track organizer gave the nod to the Kuhmo tire.

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!
