The issue is that Matt, and myself, are trying to seperate our Solo I and Solo II tires, and lump the solo I in with open track tires. Good autocross, non Street-Tire legal tires probably won't last long at track days.
I understand what you are trying to do, it just isn't that easy is all I'm saying. Solo 1 is a lot more like Solo2 than track days. The Ra-1s need a good 2-5 miles of warm up to really start sticking. Cold, they are probably not much better than the S0-3s, and probably worse than the RE070s and Azenis Sports.

The Kuhmos are better cold R compounds. I don't know where the Dunlops fit. Hoosier makes an A compound for a reason. R tires need heat to perform optimally. Some Rs are better than others at lower temps.

The RE070s, and A-Sports work very well cold. that is why the "T" PAX modifier will be changing from .968, to probably .98 or so... .984 is 1 second on a 60 second course. I'm not even sure you can justify that much any more... Hoosier As vs. A-sports, probably still justify it but not much more.
