eds966tt is infamous around these parts
I would use yoko advan neova ad08 - IMO better tire and for alot less money Not to mention great street grip and can drive it right on the track
for your DE days. Call tire rack ask for Damon

+1 - until you get dedicated track tires - these are great for DE and street - but they do wear quick.

What size are you looking for - 18" or 19"?

Is price a concern?

Do you need wet traction?

They don't make AD08 in gt2 sizing I think. All depends on your needs. Kumho XS has good dry grip and are streetable. PS2 is a good all arounder, best of all worlds. For competition style driving, Nitto NT01.
