Michelin has quite a few options that are pretty good street/track tires, the Goodyear g2 or supercar 3 are good street/track tires. They are very high-performance tires that are firmer, louder and wear faster than your average street tires but they are still safe (mostly) in the rain and inclement weather. R-comp tires require lots of sacrifices so I don't recommend that but there are tons of options for you in the extreme performance range that will work great driving a few hours to a track, spending a weekend there and driving back and switching to your normal street tires when you get home.
Thanks Notilloc, helps me narrow down things and get these winter upgrades moving.
