I don't recommend running a 200TW tire if your car sees a lot of street miles. Depending on how aggressive your alignment is, the tires (even 300 TW ones) won't last long unless you really stay on top of rotating and flipping them. Obviously, flipping can only be done with directional tires, not inside-outside tires.
I compromise and daily a race alignment with a street wheels/tires. I swap out to track wheels/tires when I go to events.
For the street, I typically use 300 TW class with better water clearing characteristics. I've liked the Hankook Venuts V12 Evo2 for price and performance. I think they'll last me about 20k miles (32k km), after flipping them. When I had Michelin Pilot Super Sports, they only lasted me 12k miles (20k km) before the inside edge started to show cord. These could not be flipped.
I don't have much experience with 200 TW class tires for street use. I have an extra set of wheels for my track tires (Federal RS-RR). They last about 6 road racing events and about 5-10k miles of street use before they start cording, maybe 8 events if I minimize street usage. You get what you pay for in this realm. Federals are pretty inexpensive and handle decently, but once they cross a heat/wear peak they can become a little unpredictable. Definitely terrible in the rain.
