My opinion after one year of M2 tracking is:
RE-71R:
As many have said the RE-71R is probably one of the fastest tires, but you can easily destroy the shoulders during a single event. I re-mounted mine left to right after each event and they only lasted 3 events. I will keep buying them as a autox tire but not for track events.
Hankook RS4S:
I found them slightly lacking in terms of grip compared to the Bridgestone, but they stood up to track abuse much better. I'm probably a slight bit slower overall but they still let the M2 shine. These are my track day tires.
Conti ECS:
These are an excellent wet weather autox and daily tire. I've put them on the stock 19" rims and use them for the winter season autox here on the wet coast. If it is even remotely dry I usually put on my RE's as they autoperform the ECS even in cold but dry weather
CS2:
This was my initial track tire choice but I run a 18" Apex EC-7 rim and I find the CS2 availability in 18" to be extremely limited.

I should mention that all my tires are 10mm bigger than stock. so 255/35R(18 or 19) and 275/35R(18/19) depending on the rim.
