Toyo R888's are road legal and good on track.

most road tyres won't hold up to serious track use as when they get hot they wear like a b**ch

depends on what's the most important track or road use ?

Have you considered running 2xsets of wheels track and road it's a bit of a heavy investment but will pay dividends

Federal RSR for cheaper end of track day tyres. I've used Pirelli PZero Neros on track and haven't had undue wear issues at all.
