>>>Actually, on the street I'm still running my Z-rated BFG 245/50-15 
fronts and H-rated 305-50-15 Euro T/A in the rear.   They are in great shape 
although they are almost 20 years old (!).   Fortunately I take care of tires 
well--I never use any sort of Armor-All or other destructive products, they 
aren't exposed to daylight very often, etc.

They are hard as hockey pucks, and getting pretty worn.   I have a set of 
Toyo 225/50 and 295/50 Proxes tires (Z and H-rated, respectively) waiting to 
be mounted.   Those are no longer available, however.   I've recently spoken 
to a guy who replaced his old tires with new S-rated BFG 225/50 and 295/50, 
and they said that the difference was like night and day--the new tires 
were much, much better than the Euro T/As that were there before.

For the track, I use Z-rated Hoosier radials, sized 225/50 and 275/50 
(largest rear size they make) and those work phenomenally well.
