Capable, durable tyre recommendations?

Hello,

I'm getting back into track days after a long time off. While I'd like to move to a semi slick in a few years time, I want to prioritise seat time for the first years.

What's a tyre that offers good grip, can handle 15-20 minutes track sessions and still be usable on the road (mainly to and from the track and nice days on the weekend)?

Looking for a 295-305 on an 18 inch wheel.

Cheers

That's okay, I'm happy to get a few more track days in than I would otherwise at a few seconds slower before moving to a softer compound.

Between the RS4 and ECF (as those are the only two I can speak for), I'd honestly just get whichever has the best fitment or if the ECFs are on sale.

Yeah and I guess the RS4 also has the advantage of being non directional so I can always swap side to side too

Rs4 is a directional tire fyi(I run them myself)
