If your pace would allow you to get 6 days out of a tire, you are not nearly fast enough to use race tires. You would be much better off to run an aggressive street tire until your pace improves.

Using race tires would lead you to one of two conclusions. Either you are fast enough to take advantages of them, but you end up getting only a few days out of them, or you are not fast enough and you won't be able to get them up to operating temperature, in which case you are just wasting money. A street tire will allow you to have a shot at the longevity you want, and offer plenty of grip for most trackday riders. Especially without warmers, I think street is the way to go.
