If there's rain, someone doesn't see you and cuts you off, debris is in the road, there's an accident, there's a puddle, oil, leaves, so many things. It doesn't matter what you do, it is a lot safer to have better tires in the rear.

Swap them when you get to the track.
I think you are confusing better condition with stickier tread compound differences... you absolutely don't want to have track compound on the back with stock Primacy on the fronts when it comes to emergency driving situations. Track tires on front with stock Primacy rear is better than stock Primacy all around if you are a competent driver.
