I'll join the chorus, here. Use street tires for at least the first year. A new driver is kidding himrself if he thinks he's going to be driving ahead of the capabilities of just about any street tires. And even more importantly, street tires give a lot of warning before they break loose. If you value your sheet metal, you'll do your learning with tires that give you some safety net. Save the R-compound stuff for when you're very comfortable with track speeds.
