Yeah, the PSSs would be my choice for a dual-duty tire although they have been known to fall apart with track use. My Dunlops are much better on the track, but they are a bit noisy for my taste on the street. The best solution is two sets of tires. You can run whatever cheapies you want on the street, and save the good noisy rubber for the track.
