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).

Precisely what we were talking about!
