I think with all of these tyres, you really need to get a bit of heat in them before safely relying on grip.
When I eventually get the Escos mapped properly, i'll be looking at a new set of track wheels. I am currently eyeing up Zestino Gredge tyres. Similar to Federal RSR but apparently better track day grip (Soft compound)
You are right about getting some heat into the RSR tyres, there is a roundabout just a couple of minutes away from where I live and one morning I was a bit to enthusiastic going around it and did get into a bit of bother!!! Luckily there was no other traffic about!!!
