My brother used to run Dunlop Super Sport racing tyres for track days on his GT3... might be worth looking to see if you get them, they were cheap, very sticky and road legal (just).

... though they were scary if there was any rain on the road. He had 2 sets of wheels and swapped to Michelin Pilot Sports for winter. We ended up wiring in a adjustable traction control system so he could more safely make to to / from the tracks themselves...and dumb it right down for when on track.
