I would like to know the same thing!
I can tell you that I now have 5 track days on my OEM Dunlops, and they are holding up well. They are wearing evenly. It looks like I will get 1 or maybe 2 more days out of the fronts and can probably push the rears for another 2 or 3 days. A member from the forum was kind enough, and awesome enough to give me 3 of his 4 tires (one had a blowout so he went a different route and changed all 4), and they are in very good shape, so I will probably order 1 rear tire, and use the Dunlops again. However, after those wear out, I will be in the same position to decide on those vs. the AD09's again.

Yeah. The OEM Dunlops are proving to be decent tires for dual use. I like the steering feedback and how they communicate. But I also know this is true of the AD09. I suspect I could flip a coin and would be happy with either choice.

I haven't had any problems with swapping sizes up to 265/35 fronts and 295/30 rears but it does ride about half an inch lower and the speedometer is slightly off. That 255/40/19 front really is a bad size for track tires but jumping one size up gives you the option for just about every track tire you could want ranging from hoosier r7's, track attack pros etc
