I used to track the Falken RT-615's and they were a great tire for the money. I'm not sure if they make them in our sizes though.

Michael-Dallas is infamous around these parts
I got Nitto Invos in the front and Hankook Ventus in the rear. Will swap the Nittos w/ the Hankook when it comes time.

Fronts yes. Rears no.

I loved them on my Boxster. Great wet and dry autocross. DE's were great also until latter sessions when heat buildup seemed to slicken them. If they had our sizes I probably would have bought a set for the tt.

If you had to choose between the two for 4 new?

Kumho XS also come in 315/30/18 and 235/40/18 - I know it's a little more of a track tire, but I know some that run it on the street without issues in the wet.

For driving on the street and having fun at the track (i.e. not worried about laptimes) -- the cheaper one.
