RWD is a more "natural" state, I think, more balanced. You'll take to it like a duck to water. You'll see.

When God created race cars He said, "And let them be rear wheel drive." (With some allowances for AWD on loose surfaces for rally cars.)

It's my understanding that the OEM Michelins would serve you well for that purpose. The biggest problem with those tires is chewing up the shoulders well before using up the main tread. You're learning, not looking for best lap times, right?

Actually, the OEM tires are more expensive than Pilot Super Sports, etc. Maybe mount a really stiffly reinforced shoulder track tire on your spare rims and run them on the track, keeping the OEM tires for street use. Mike can give you good advice there.
Could this not be avoided by adding sufficient amount of camber?

You write very well, sir. Do you have a blog or something? Maybe you should consider, if not.

I tend to think Mr. Rod Millen to be brave, skilled, and old in equal parts. lol
