Default Replacement for Kumho V710's?

I am currently running 245/40R18 and 315/35R18 V710's and the rears are shot. Can't find new rears online so thinking about what to replace them with. Would love to find takeoff slicks that fit as these are track wheels only but open to suggestions from the crowd!

Let me know what you like

Hoosier A7 or R7. V710 is an autocross compound so probably closer to A7.

Thanks but I prefer something more cost effective that will last longer, even if at the expense of outright grip.

Nitto NT01 are about the only option for 18" track tires. I found out the hard way after buying a set of wheels.......

I have two sets of the 245/40/18 and 315/35/18 for sale. Both sets are brand new unopened in the wrappers. I changed tires sizes and no longer need these.

RE-71 don't go bigger than 285 unfortunately. Really wanted to get these for 964 but were on back order when I needed a set.
