Got my Dunlop Direzza Star Specs (that's a mouthful!) and I love them! I have an aggressive alignment on my car and my last tires felt like I felt every bump and it go with every variation in the road. These actually smoothed out the ride while giving tremendous grip. I used to be able to easily get a little sideways while applying throttle mid-turn. Now, I have not been able to do that at the same amount of throttle input. I went on a 3 hour ride and I am impressed, so far. I can't wait to take my car to the next autocross!

Any other recommendations? What about Falken Azensis?
toyo ra1 if you`re after grip. they are r-comps but pretty durable. not same grip as on hoosiers, but still more than on non-r comp tires. If you want normal street non-r comps I would vote for potenza re11.
