Once they are both warmed up prob not.
The issue is the compounds are "very" different.
DOT tires are going to handle a much wider range of temps, handle heat cycling much better.
If you do not ride a slick hard enough the temps will be to low and you will "cold tear" the
slick. Even off of warmers you can cold tear slicks if you don't get out on the track and ride
hard enough to keep the heat in them. A couple of sighting laps is enough to let them cool down
to much and ruin them.
Slicks do not handle heat cycles very well, another reason to put them back
on warmers off the track. May only handle a couple dozen heat cycles before becoming
to hard.
Not sure what you are trying to gain by using slicks on the street.
$400 a set and you will not get any better performance then a good track/street tires
and life will be much shorter. How hard are you planning on riding the twisties in your part of the woods?
Planning on scraping your elbows?
Even at the track, full on, you'll only gain marginal improvements on grip over some of the track/street tires
they are putting out. Slicks are a hassle at the track and not really needed unless you are really trying
to eek out every second you can, ie. racing.
Sorry, this is a bad idea.
Maybe a second set of rims, warmers and a generator. Then head to the track, change rims, have
fun and then change back when you get home.
