If you are just learning I'd recommend to just pick a rear tire you can easily afford and stick with it until you get consistent before trying different tires.
Bingo! Consistency is key!

PSA; don't run Continental Conti-ProContacts. Ran a pair for a whole day at Poconos, at 44psi HOT.

Middle of the tread likes to chunk; no side bite, little grip off throttle. They make okay smoke, but they make the rear feel a bit too loose when off power for my liking.
