tire choices for Donuts/burnout ?

i enjoy doing some burn outs and some donuts here and there, i prefer 275/35-19s on the rear and my fun activity im sure ill be changing tires often, but they do get expensive. Is there a good tire that is good for track days, but also maybe has a longer wear off than others and maybe within $150-$200 range?

Yeah pretty good tire, I ran them for nearly 30k on the GT500 until they decided to quit making the 285/40R18 (all GT500 owners with garage queens suck! ) a buddy of mine with a Cobalt SS almost managed to knock down 40k

I know all this isn't germane to the OP but I was pleasantly surprised at the life of these tires - I would have thought at 20k they would have been shot.

Also, the KDW is due to be phased out so they might start popping up with some clearence sales making these tires an excellent bargin.

I run the G-Force AS on my V6 now (although it hasn't moved in over a year). I was pretty happy with those. Also the General Exclaim UHPs are an excellent budget performance tire - had a set of those before the BFG and they were one of my favorite all around tires and great bank for your buck.

For Burnouts? Whichever ones are shot and don't have any tread left
