First Track Day - Tire Question

Hi everyone, I've read over a bunch of threads but I wanted to see if I could get other's opinions. I have a stock 2014 Fiesta ST with Dekagrams (16x8) with Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 in 205/45/16. They probably have about 5/32nds tread left on them. I'm planning to do my first track day in April and autocross. I've gotten everything else sorted (brake pads, fluids, etc.)

But I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on if I can run the all seasons on the track / autocross. I know I'm not going to be setting any records as this is my first time for both, but one of my friends said that if it were her, she would switch out to something like RT660 in 215/45/16ing before the track because I'll just spend all day managing tire slip than learning proper lines and braking points. OTOH, this is my first track day (novice) so does it really matter?

My goal really is to have fun.

Thanks!
