Also, any thoughts on whether it may be worth considering just spending a little more for R-comps since they'll be primarily for the track anyway...?
I am currently using Dunlop ZII (similar style tire to what you mentioned) in a 235 front / 265 rear size for my Z435 and like it a lot. Solid grip and handles heat fairly well.

At the risk of stating the obvious I would keep a close eye out for standing water with this style of tire. Even with close to full thread I got into a tank-slapper at 65mph when accelerating hard and hitting standing water. Not fun.

Personally, if it was truly a track tire with street use just for driving to the track I would go more aggressive and get the Toyo R888 or Pilot Sport Cup
