Custom Made Tires?

I just bought my RX about 2 months ago, and I guess I've been doing too many burn outs coz I need new tires. I went to get the info so I could replace just the rears, and this is what the side walls say (no more, no less).

"Yokohama 205/60VR13 H.P.T. Team Project Design"

then in very small print

"Treadwear 60, Traction A, Tempurature A"

SO i'm wondering... are these drag slicks with a tread? Coz Treadwear 60 is apauling! My Falken Azenis were close to slicks and they still had a rating of 280.

Where should I start looking (Or Continue to look) LOL!

Those are "R" compounds - street legal race tires for classes that require DOT legal tires. Not really street tires, but for the purposes of street tire racing classes they count as street tires. See also Kumho V710, Yoko A032, A048, Michelin Pilot Cup Sport, etc.
