For those wanting a mounted tire, the D compound premount Xpatterns may be what you are looking for.

Also, the integy C22 pro street max was doing similar lap times to the X patterns, and will likely be good as traction comes up. I had them mounted on 26mm rims, so they are stretched a bit. The price is right...
