Please advise--need track and street tire

I bought a set of OEM turbo wheels for track tires for $980. Now I need a street/track tire to go with them. Don't have to be N specified tires. What do you guys recommend? Something that wears well would be nice.

Pirelli Pzero Corsa or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup or if you need better wear the Pilot Sport 2's are still amazing on the track.

Pilot Sport 2's are nice, and wear well. But Pilot Sport Cups are just amazing. The dry grip is simply phenomenal. Get them warmed up, and push your car through some favorite curves at significantly higher speeds than you are used to, street or track. It brings a smile to my face every time . . .

The Yokohama Advan Neova's are very nice on track, and better wearing on the street than an R-compound tire (like the Pilot sport Cup, or Advan A048). They can also withstand much more heat cycling w/o getting very hard, as compared to the R-compounds. Still, the R-compounds are perfect if you are primarily track focussed.
