tire suggestions

i drive an e82 but since theres not much traction there i figure i'll post here

so i do a bit of trackwork at wakefield, marulan, and eastern creek
i'm looking at a few tires and though i love PS4s, they are just a bit pricey since they dont last more than a few track days

im looking at
michellen ps4
hancook rs4
kuhmo ps91
bridgestone re003
yokohoma ad08r
federals?

im just looking for some suggestions and my requirements are relatively reasonably priced (since i change them often) with quite good performance

Assume you are running 18"
From this list AD08Rs would be my pick
Put on the best rubber you can afford

I am not familiar with the Kumos etc
Most people seem to run the Yokos or the PS4s
With the torque these cars put down you want something with decent grip, especially in the wet off the lights
I have run about 4 sets of Yoko advans and found them to be excellent
Vtl runs yoko AD08Rs on his 135 and swears by them
At the end of the day if there was a cheap great performing tires we would all be running them tbh
In my experience these cars need decent rubber (even for everyday driving)
