Want 2x335 35 17's for track days several times a year. Any suggestions for some that are actually in stock? Going to Infinion next weekend and would like to have some new tires.

Thanks,
The Kumho's and Michelin's were backordered, I didn't really want a full slick like the Hoosier, and I just don't like Pirellis. Are the Dunlops (like I have on my car now) no longer available?

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport's on the GT5 and they are a good all round tire, performed well on track in the wet (full monsoon those 2 days) and dry.
The second Pantera is shod with Toyo R888's but that's an 18" wheel
I also have Pirelli Assimetrico's on the Ultima and apart from the sticker shock they are an awesome tire, that said I do run Hooiser R6's in the dry.
For Infineon this time of year you are probably wise to stick with a treaded compound.
I know a few people that have stepped down to a 315 width and prefer it especially for track. There's a whole lot more choice and availability at that width. The Kumho's or R888's come highly recommended.

I've been running the 315 R888's and they are great. Pricing is also reasonable.

Thanks for all the responses. I'll take all the info and make a decision. This afternoon, on a flook, I stopped at my local Discount Tire and asked if they have any of the 335's, and to my surprise he said their warehouse inventory shows 2 Dunlops (which is what I currently have). However, they are almost as expensive as what you can buy the Michelins. So now, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I guess I'll make a decision tomorrow. The 315's are also a real consideration, as there seems to be plenty of choices and plenty of local stock. Again, thanks to everyone who responded, I'll keep you posted.
To all who replied, thanks, I found a pair of Michelins that were taken off of a show car with zero miles on them. The car was always transported by trailer and never driven. Globe Tires in Manhattan beach had them and sold them at $195.00 each, which made me very happy. So on to Infineon with new tires. Now if we could just keep the rain away this weekend.
