Given I do a couple track days a year, I probably won't notice much of a handling loss, but I'd love to get more mileage from a tire!
Bullitt, will you save the tires for track days? If the track is dry, the nearly bald tires would be sweet to run on those nice days.

ehh....even on a slick, well prepped dry track, near bald tires will not have anywhere close to the grip of the tires new. its not the tread that affects the grip, its the amount of heat cycles. as you cycle the heat through them, they get harder and harder and grip less....
