Update:
After 5 track days and 2500 street miles, my set is still kicking strong. After this last two day event at sebring, I have finally removed all the tread block and am down to just the two rings and they are better than ever. Should hold up for at least another few track days I would guess. After I wear this set out, I will be switching to 17" wheels with 255/40s from my 245/40/18s
On the project Evo, after a day of abuse from Robi, and three days and the hands of SPT, they are still showing plenty of life with the tread blocks intact.

So far I got one track event on my (245-45-17's). I must say they are great tires for the money. So far the wear is very even, traction is good, easy to find the limit of the tire... Overall I give them two thumbs up!

I have not tried them for auto-x, but ehre are my thoughts. If you are very serious about auto-x, certain companies make auto-x specific compound that get to temp extremely quickly, but are not good for road course. The Nittos do take a solid half lap at a decent size road course to get to good temp. I would say even not up to temp, they are going to be better than almsot any street tire like most DOT-Rs, but if you are looking for something ideal for that use, either get them warm before your session or use a auto-x compound tire.
