really depends on what class you want to compete in? Street tire i presume?
several factors to consider like will these be your daily driver tires or only autox tires?

For street tires, I belive the Falken Azenis is your only option.
For auto-x race rubber id go with Hoosier A6's or Kumho 710's.

I don't recommend daily driving with the R compound competition tires (A6 or V710).

You can daily drive with any of these street tires. However, there are trade-offs involved. More specifically, the Falken Azenis RT-615 is very sticky for autocross on dry pavement, but doesn't last all that long in daily driving (10-12K miles is typical) and is only so-so in rain. You can get the Hankook, which means you'll trade off a bit of dry grip for a bit longer treadlife (15-20K) and slightly better grip in rain. You can get the ES100, which means you'll trade off a bit more dry grip for even more treadlife (25-40K) and awesome grip in rain. If you have to use these in snow, you can get the RE960AS all-season, which means you'll trade off still more dry grip for that ability to grip in snow, and they'll last a bit longer too (35-55K). Your trade-offs, your choice.
I don't recommend daily driving with the R compound competition tires (A6 or V710).
