Never use new tyres on track as normal road spec tyres de-laminate when pushed too hard. I have had a few go 'off' after a couple of testing laps at Goodwood when we were running the Hertz Audi GT, always use scrubbed or well worn road tyres on dry days. Obviously we all can't afford the track tyres as they are getting somewhat pricey.

Another minus for us 180 owners is a lack of race spec half worn tyres that are often cast off by teams. I used to obtain a fair few Dunlop cut slicks but were only good for 10" x13" rims, which I used to run on the Chevette.
