Default Falken 615 and Nitto NT01 questions

Did some searching and found some good info on these tires, but I still have a couple questions.

How well do the Falkens do on the track. I know they're great for AX but get hot after awhile. Will they be ok at the track as long as you keep the pressure at the right level? Will they last a DE session without getting too hot?

How well do the NT01s do for autocrossing?

i use the 615's for autox and DE, they are great as long as you watch the pressure. If mine get over 40 psi hot they get very greasy, so to compensate i start them at lower level than most people do with street tires

The Nittos are okay for autox, but are really for the track. I wouldn't recommend the Nittos for autox if your running for competitive times. The compound is the same as the Toyo RA-1's.
