I wouldn't use a tyre with such a large profile for trackday use.

Personally i would purchase a set of 15"bbs wheels (or similar) use some toyo proxes just for track use.

Seconded, a set of BBS 15's without tyres can be got for less than £100; Canskill will sell you four 888s for £*** (cheaper than the price on their website) and you're not trying to get tyres to do something they're not designed for.

agree with the toyo 888's they are road legal slicks.
