Tire Wheel Decision...

This is what I ultimately want to have:
Stocker + Nice track tires
Rota Tarmac II Gold + Nice all seasons

What I have today:
Stocker + Dunlop SP900

Problems:
- I don't want to put some nice track tires on the stocker and drive that daily as well.
- Dunlop sucks on the track (my third and forth sessions were slippery as hell!)
- If I pick up the Rotas + All-Seasons and nice track tires for the stockers, I would have to junk the Dunlop. Which I think is a waste.
- I don't want to use Rota for track only.

Missing Info:
I actually haven't pick out the rubbers yet...

Question:
What would you do?

I know I can just wait until my Dunlops are gone, but I want to go to THill in April but with some better tires...

Sorry Leo, but I like either the SDR or the Tarmac II

If you have a WRX, what I'd do is try and trade your stockers for some pre MY02 Impreza wheels, which will give you an extra .5" for tire. That way, you can get rid of your Dunlops (most which suck major *** anyway) and you'll be getting a 7" wide wheel instead of 6.5".
