Exclamation Suggestion on 19" tires for BBS LM's

I have a set of LM's currently with T1R's on the front and Proxes4's on the rear. Current tire sizes:

235/35/19 and 295/30/19. I need a replacement, as I want something a bit more agressive. I have only driven on both of these for 300 miles now, and it seems for my use, I need something with stiffer sidewalls. I already have track tires on my OEM 18's (Hoosier R6's) but don't want to spend a boat load on street tires.

I have used Hankook Ventus V12's and they are ok. Anything in that price range and size that would work?

Btw wheels are:

19x8.5 Front
19x11 Rear

All help is appreciated.

Edward

At this rear size your pretty much limited to Pilot Sports or Conti's. Conti's are a bit cheaper. The board consesus seems to go with the Michelins.
