I have just purchased my first 911, and it came with a new set of AVS tires on them that are as well 205 60 15's. They are a good tire choice and are reasonable in their cost as stated above.
I have autocrossed for some years and must say the R tire is much much better than ANY street tire, but is more expensive and will not last nearly as long.
If you have good street tires now in terms of life left in them, and they are a dog of a tire... but a set of wheels and a set of 032r yoko's and use them for the track.
If you have almost no tread left on your existing street tires, finish them off at the track and then buy a cheap good set of AVS for next year and in the meantime.
R tires do have great grip. Even on wet roads they provide grip BUT they break very easily and once they do you are a goner.
