Note the Yokohama ADVAN A052 very recently came out in that size, a fairly expensive but pretty great 200tw tire. Can take the heat at a track day, great for AX, good in the rain (for a extreme perf street tire) and not as loud as the RE71R. Significantly better road manners than the R888r with minimal drawbacks on the track.

Kinda makes me wish I had a set of 16" wheels, as I don't like running the 245/40-15 on my 15x9 rears on the highway. At least that set fits in the back seat.
