Hey all,
My OEM SC2s (GT350 base, not the pseudo-R SC2s) have between 1k-2k street miles, and I've now run 3 track weekends on them (6 days - 2 each at Road Atlanta, Barber, and Nashville). As a new track driver, I'm not putting as much wear on them as those more experienced. On the fronts, I've worn the outer features off and the tires are down to the wear bars, and seeing some degradation along the center rib. The question is, how much (if any) track use life is left in them before I cord them? Is it likely they'll be heat-cycled hockey pucks anyway? Secondary challenge is that for the moment, I'm driving to/from track days not trailering, but I don't think these would be safe for street use at this point, just wondering whether to keep and get another track day or 2 or trash them.
Thanks for any/all input.
