It's definitely not a tire designed with heavy track use in mind, nor TT focused cars. It just so happens to work with a lot of street cars. IIRC the compound is from a motorcycle tire originally.

Organizers and rules makers for most TT have recognized that the super 200 tires are one hit wonders and some have built exclusions and/or points penalties for them. Other tires, like the RS4, have been built with more track focus having higher operating ranges.

At the end of the day, for temp ranges like 220*+, there is literally no reason to use anything outside of a race tire. Some tires might work, but they're not designed with those temps in mind.

Edit: I honestly don't know of many tires that like to see an average temp range of 235*. That's very hot and might indicate the car is under-tired or that whatever tire used does not dissipate heat well (which a full race tire should do).
