I try to shop for street tires that have the best cornering grip. It moves from brand and tire to tire as manufacturers compete. Interestingly it saves a little money. When they first introduce a new tire it is cheaper, once it catches on the prices go up. My tires usually change every time I get new ones.
I used to have an extra set of rims and R or A compound tires, but got tired of changing wheels for racing.
When I was driving my 2001 Boxster S, I swapped FTDs with a guy in a Z06. I was on street tires, he was on Hoosiers. He only ran once without his Hoosiers. He was 5 seconds slower.
