Michael,
I have been using the R888's since they have come out. Even though they eventually heat cycle, I have the tires on year round. I basically drive to and from the events with no wear or heat cycle. Straight on the highway does not build up much heat for a heat cycle. This way I have gotten an average of 17 track days, 4 to 5 heat cycles per day from a set (one set a year) till they heat cycleled out with little tread left.
If I were you, I would dedicate a set of tires per year, and don't worry about changing tires at the track. I go to the track prepared, car in tip top shape, so the only thing I do at the track is check tire pressures. No jacking up, no getting dirty and greasy.......Just relax and enjoy the track and socializing.
