Iv'e been running comp TAs for years. nice compromise, IMHO. Drive to the
track, drive, drive home. Each generation has gotten better wrt full tread
chunking, now minimal. The g-force street tire costs a fortune, but didn't
chunk at all at Mosport. There was a Pirelli truck at Mosport and they had
P-0/C race tires: They are deeper tread, 7/32 (i.e. not painted on), but
"R" compound and have solid bands for the outer two strips of rubber. I
asked about wet performance and his reply was that with negative camber the
inside 1/2 of the tire, which has rain siping, works fine. Claim to last
longer than normal R tires.  Saw some on DE cars. Go figure.
