Just to elaborate on this...The Bridgestone GT R tire is a good all season, run flat tire. However, it is by no stretch of the imagination a competitive track tire. NISSAN says the optional Dunlop GT R tires are around 1 second per mile faster than the Bridgestone's. However, the Dunlops wear faster (despite their higher tread wear rating) than the Bridgestone's.
So, is your goal to have an aggressive looking tire that is similar to the GT R tires, or is your goal to have a good track day tire? With that same thought in mind, will you have a second set of wheels/tires for the street or are these also going to be used on the street?
