I dont want to daily these but to use as the title states.... they need to be able to handle some highway use though... Do these exist?

my vote would prob lend to toyo R1r. provided you dont have a hella agressive camber toe setting for track use.

If you're ok with the wear it will cause, Hoosier R6 are technically DOT legal. You'll just need to get over the whole "not intended for use on the highway" stamped on the side.

To be more serious though, you'll need to define "race". If you're talking about an HPDE, that isn't racing, and any "extreme performance summer time" will be fine. If you mean some form of organized racing, then you'll need to follow the rules for the class you participate in.

Really though, if you can't swap tires at the track in under 20 minutes, you aren't trying. Just use 2 sets of wheels, one for street tires and one for track tires, even if you use street tires on the track.

The tire you're looking for is somewhere in the Extreme Performance category. Read our most recent tire test results here !

define "track". there are many forms of racing.

Wouldn't size also matter?

I have been running auto-x and drag racing on my Dunlop z1starspecs for 15,000 miles and still have more than 50% tread. Just bought some Hoosier r6's to get more competitive in auto-x'ing and save my dd setup from flat spots.

I love the fact that my dunlops perform just as well in wet conditions as they do dry. My comp2's held up great with awesome traction both wet and dry. I just hated the road noise.

Size does play a factor. I know dunlop's are limited in the size they are available in. Other manufactures are the same way.

invest in a second set of wheels. Even if they have to be rota's
