Pirelli rs7 and rs51 search them up. If you want to buy me some a048s please do. I don't gave pop star wages like most people on here can barely afford to go as it is.

booking yourself an instructor to go out with you would be more beneficial than anything you can do to the car.

Got colway on shelf at work. Similar pattern just compound is a lot more plastic plus it says remould on it. Them just say pirelli. Normally only truck remould that still have original tyre name on the casing. Not seen a car one that does.

The colway/maxsport rb5's are a direct copy based on the pirelli design only manufactured as a remould so its not surprising they "look" like colways.
Nics tyres do have pirelli written on the sidewall they are a tyre designed for tarmac rallying and will be perfectly fine on track.

The only problems I can forsee is noise and the ride height at the rear.
Back end is going to step out, and do most of the tracks not have stringent noise regs in place?
Your thing sounds like downtown Iraq
Wish you luck though.
