thanks!
Temps depend on the tire used and the rims (width) used. We're optimized for 225/235 tires on 9" rims at the moment, with a spread of 5-15F depending on run time and ambient temps. With 8" rims, outer edges are generally way hotter than the inside and centers.

Higher rear temps isn't a bad thing... I struggle with higher front temps.

10F difference street driving means you probably don't have enough camber for on-track use. Street driving, our car is "warm" on the inside, and cool center and outside. This is purely due to sidewall flex from camber; we run 0 toe front/rear.
