PSS are tremendously overrated, IMO. If you're going to the track, get a tire that's up to it. I just got a set of RE71Rs for daily and track use. If I hadn't been concerned with tenths of a second in time trials I would probably have gone with Hankook RS4.
Particularly being width-limited to 215 or 225, I wouldn't bother with a Max Perf tire for street *and* track usage.
For the record the RE71R isn't a 1-lap tire, my fastest lap in practice (a 1:20.554) on Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (chicane/chicane) was 9 laps in. In the time trial I went faster every lap: 1:21.205, 1:20.554, 1:20.511, despite screwing up a couple of corners on laps 2 and 3. Won my class by less than a tenth :O
