RE-11s are good but get really noisy on the street after hard track use.
The Pirelli Trofeos are fabulous on the track but not so much on the street, very low tread wear rating too.
Just my opinions, YMMV...

I've personally used for daily driving, autocross, and track and recommend the following: AD08R, RE71R, Super Sports. Super Sports will last the longest and are the quietest. RE71R's are the quickest and a bit noisier.
I've gone through multiple sets of RS3's and don't recommend them any more based on the current crop of street tires. They weren't good in the wet or cold, and God forbid if it's wet AND cold. They also heat cycled / age hardened fairly quickly, even though they had plenty of tread left. It's a good tire, but I think there are better choices now unless the RS3 is the best available size for you.
