Best keep your road tyres then it wont feel any different to on the road.

Adjust the pressures to suit conditions though. i.e. if hot day then deflate a couple of pounds, reverse if cold.

Toyo 888s , yokohoma A510s , or 032s , and Dunlop direnzas are all meant to be pretty good

 The A510s are probably best for a compromise , as the others arnt too fantastic on wet roads

but bear in mind Yokohomas arnt very hard wearing

I used the 888's at Donington a few months back - Couldn't fault them.  Have a look on www.camskill.co.uk for some prices.
