They get hot very quickly on track but have excellent wet weather grip. That would be my only choice for a track tyre to use on the road. Personally in your shoes I'd stick with the Contis or go Michelin PS3 or P Zero.
Ouse t1r on my 240byp civic type r, the wet weather performance is great and they're good in the dry too.
I'm at the ring next ear on them hopefully they will make a lap at a time without over heating too bad.
