It's better by far to just have 2 or even 3 different pad compounds on hand for different uses. One set for street use, especially in winter. One set for Solo 2 use to get maximum bite, and one set for track use for maximum fade resistance. There's no magic compound that does all 3 well, all you get is a pad that does at least one of those things poorly (or has other undesirable qualities like high rotor wear, noise, or dust) and probably isn't the best at any single use. Just like tire, if you only have one set you're compromising big time somewhewre- but the difference is, you can afford multiple sets of brake pads even if you can't afford multiple sets of wheels and tires.
