I'm a big fan of the Bridgestone Blizzak tires (in your case, WS80).
As a counterpoint to the Michelin PSS, I have Bridgestone S04 Pole Position tires and have been very happy with them. Dry and wet performance has been excellent.
I've had Goodyear Assurance before but I had Comfort Tread not the fuel saver ones. I would buy again, they were quiet, good traction, stayed round, held air, etc.
My guess would be that NASCAR tires are on the very hard end of the F1 tyre spectrum with the cornering loads/weight that NASCAR has in comparison.
They're sort of expensive I think, but the Bridgestone Battlax S20 is really nice in the wet. I had Pirelli Diablo Corsas and moved away from them specifically because of their poor performance in the wet.
Saab with Potenza RE970AS Pole Position tires. Best 3 season tire IMO.
Find the Goodyear trailer at the track. After the race sometimes the tire guys will sell you one over the fence. Got one a few years ago for $5 at Milwaukee.
If you just want a used racing tire, (maybe Goodyear, maybe not), check out your local short track. The one's I've been to usually have piles of them laying around.
I do have a backup set of Bridgestone Turanza (205/55R16) all seasons but I am in the market for new tires now.
I went wit Nitto 555s on the GLIwhich has a much bigger tracttion problem than the R's....huge ride, trn-in and traction improvement. OEM there was the rimprotectors known as Bridgestone RE050As in 225/40/18....horrible crap.
