As for mounting tires my company actually provides the track side support for the NASA Florida region. So depending on the club and the region they may also have on track side tire support for mounting and balancing tires at the track.

That being said there is no need for anything better than street tires until you move up. The only reason you may want a separate set is because you will eat them up at the track.

As for safety I cannot speak for other clubs or other regions since we deal mainly with NASA FL. However we have gone to every single event for the past 3 years or so and I can count on one hand how many incidents have occurred with HPDE drivers. Usually it's someone going off or hitting a tire wall because they are over driving the car and not listening to their instructor.
