If you are getting track tires get something cheaper for the street.

You have 3 very different tires shown there. One Track, one mid performance, and one all season. Decide what you want out of the tire.

Personally I have the Pirelli M+S. I have a second set of rims, so the pirellis are used for daily driving and my adventures snowboarding. Just so you know, you will loose quite a bit of handling with these tires compared to the advans. The do hold like mad in bad weather though. So my suggestion, decide what you want the car to do (track monster, daily driven, snowmobile), then choose a tire after that, especially if you only have one set of rims. If I did not have the second set, I would NOT choose the pirellis for all around use.

Just my 2 cents.

like i posted earlier i will be using shaved toyos for track sessions so i guess what i want is a good handling daily tire that wont cost an arm and a leg those three that i posted were based on traction ,cornering stability,and tread life(tire rack numbers)ratings wich are the ratings that concern me the most. i guess they are different flavor tires but still seemed to have the best ratings for my budget, still very open to any and all suggestions THANX

The Ecsta MX is probably the closest performer to your stock Advan if you are on budget. Yokohama ES-100 and Pirelli P-zero Nero don't have as much dry weather grip.

I have had good experience with the YOK AVS ES100 on other cars I have owned.
