I would say StarSpec also, good for both autox and tracking. They pretty much dominate solo racing as far as a street tire is concerned. I think the RS-3 would be a close second (out of those choices), but it doesn't have nearly the following the Dunlop does. Also, the Dunlop comes with a little more tread depth, 1 or 2mm I believe.

How competitive do you want to be?
Are you running 17s or 18s?
Have you modified your fenders at all?
