Default Need new tires

Hey whats going on, I currently have some rotas 18x9.5 +25 all around and I have 265/35/18 and 275/35/18. My question is whats gonna be a good step up in traction from toyo T-1rs. My z is not a garage queen and gets driven daily, but is also tracked. Ive heard the kuhmo mx extras are very good, but dont know how long they will last on the street for me. My requirements for a new tire are better dry traction than the t1Rs and just as good wet as the t1Rs What are my choices. I do the dragon a couple times a year about to start autocross and run motorsport ranch. Also what tire sizes would be better than what I have now. I do not have any vdc tcs or any assists other than abs. So give me your recomendations.

3 choices
1. stick with t1rs
2. bfg kwd 2s
3. kuhmo mx

What do you think any others you suggest

two other choices if they have your size: hankook rs2 and falken rt615

i haven't used either yet, just read reviews on them. they're supposed to have more grip that t1r's but wear faster.

Those G-force KDW's are going to be a REAL disappointment. I would go with the Falken Azzenis RT-615

I have the BFG's and they seems okay, but not what I was expecting (street okay...autoX fairly poor). from other autoX ppl, the 615's are hard to beat (and simlar road noise to the BFG's...louder than OE), and from my expeirewnce w/ Hankook's R-comps, their tires are right up there w/ the best.
