Plus you can drive them to and from the track, where you wouldn't want to do that on race slicks or r-compounds.

I plan on getting 17x9 rpf1's (or maybe a diff wheel) with 245 street tires for my DD (most likely Z2, or PSS, RE11, AD08, etc....which are "extreme" street tires already I know). But, I just wanted to save the stock wheels specifically for track days and lace them up with something better than my DD setup.
So..just sayin, it'd be pointless to wrap my stock wheels with a similar extreme street tire to those on my 17x9s DD setup (and at the same time, they would be an even skinnier 7" stock wheel and skinnier 215-225 street tires than my DD setup...basically, it'd be worse than my DD setup), might as well just use my DD setup for the track.
I'll prolly look into the NT01's more..since they seem a bit more n00b friendly, have a longer life, and not as hardcore as the A6 slicks.
