SCCA: CAM-C requires treadwear north of 200. There are not a lot of restrictions in CAM but 200 treadwear certainly can negate a lot of hp upgrades, which is probably the idea.
My personal view and is likely somewhat flawed is there really isn't a single tire that allow cars like these to be utilized to the higher levels of their capability and still provide adequate performance on the street in a variety of reasonable weather conditions. I found that you can have one or the other, but not both at the same time. I run the BFG Comp AS for road trips and anything off track. Great tire in poor weather conditions, great price when you can find them and reasonable performance capability when you get aggressive on the road trips, and of course all of that is subjective.
When I am in competitive mode, I bolt on the Bridgestone RE71Rs mounted on Forgelines. What a great tire for its intended purpose. Ran a large AutoX event this weekend. Every serious contender was wearing RE71's. When you want to take your car to the upper levels of its performance, that is the tire most seem to reach for. However you don't take that tire on a trip to the Coast, unless its on a roll back. Pretty much impossible to kill two birds with one tire, in my view.
