Default Best track tyres?

As thread title please gents,

What are the best tyres for track use, i will have 17" rims on a classic Sti with coil overs.
Engine should be somewhere around 450bhp as well and i am looking specifically for "Ring " use!!

what say you all, the experts

Well the Ring is a fast road not a track so has a different sort of surface to proper tracks but i found that my Bridgestone RE070s were superb round the Ring especially when warm/hot but Toyo R888s are a favorite aswell

Every time I've been to the ring I've used my road tyres, because every time I've been its been wet!!
