Track Tires for Stock 19s

So I got new wheels and want to use my stock 19s for the track.

1. What tires would you suggest for the track?
2. What size would fit the stock 19s?
3. Nittos seem to be recommended a lot but aren't sold on tirerack, where else would you recommend buying them from?

Thanks

What kind of track are we talking? Autocross, drag, or road course/ track days?

There is just not much available for what will fit the 19 inch factory wheel. If you go to wider aftermarket wheels you can run a 285/40R19 Michelin Pilot Super Sport.

Looking on tire rack you can find a few cocky tires if you sway to a 245/45R19 or a 255/45R19, but nothing in stock size at all. Both of these sizes will be a little bit shorter but that will help the v6 get off the line and back up to speed quicker out of the turns
