I can't imagine you'd get any complaints, since you'd end up in last place. The spec tire will be under $600 a set, you aren't going to save much/any money on worse tires.
Get 2 sets of wheels, one with the spec tire and one with daily driving tires. Swap them at or before events and you'll save money. Autox will ruin a daily tire, even a higher tread wear one, pretty quickly (mostly through camber wear, which often causes the tire to become very loud on the highway).
