the nitto nt01 would be a good choice for what you need.
also i think kumho just came out with a new tire thats in the same catagory
they also have the 555r 2 road race tire that look almost like a nitto drag radial but the nt01 would probley last a little longer and would be better for the street.

It will be difficult. On an autocross tire the side wall is very stiff unlike a drag radial which has a soft sidewall that can wrinkle on launch.

Actually there are a few people that have taken the nitto 555R DR out on a road course track day and did fine with it. You just have to run like 50PSI or more on the AUTO-X. Which is close to what youd run either way when AUTOX'ing
