Some food for thought-

My current toyo proxes rears are showing some severe wear and I will most likely replace them this winter when I put the car away.

Now I currently have 2 sets of wheels and tires for my m coupe, the stock wheels and tires (which I never use and only keep in the event I ever sell my car) and then my apex's proxes. I typically do 2-3 track days a year, and the rest of my time I spend on public roads. I only drive my car April-November, and the proxes hate the cold and rain, enough that I won't bother to take the car out in those conditions.
My thought is that if I'm only getting 7k miles out of a set of proxes that really only have about 500 track miles on them, should I replace them with something more civil, Michellin pss, and then maybe keep a set of proxes for track driving? Is it worth if it if I'm only at the track a hand full of times a year? I could even mount my track tires on my old stock wheels if I wanted.

Thoughts?
