Auto cross involves a bunch of skidding and sliding on the tires. This is where wear truly occurs. At a track, you don't see this as much so you don't need to worry about wear rates as much as you're trying to contribute
I'll give my review of the Stones tomorrow. I'll be running them

Yeah, you're probably right but I think they won't be as grippy as the semi-slick tires.
I'm waiting with impatience for your review
Could interest me!

If you want to use it on the road as well, maybe consider the Yokohama AD08. I haven't used it personally, but I've seen it on a nicely-tuned 135i that is more powerful than mine. Its a good tire that is worthy of track duty, but I feel that it will probably give up second or two to a R-comp.

As you, I won't use the track tires for the street driving: I won't be able to warm them up and they will wear like nothing... I know R888 are quite noisy.
Speaking about the AD08, any review of their R version? I mean AD08R?
