Default Cording the stock Bridgestones

I took about 3/32 off the outside edge of the stock front Sport Package Bridgestones at Road Atlanta, which leaves them about 4/32 in the outer rain groove, and 6/32 or 7/32 in the inner rain groove. The rears also wore more on the outside than the inside, but not as dramatically as the fronts.

Clearly, I need more negative camber, but that aside, will these tires work in the dry down to the cord, or will the performance of the small piece of the tire I'm actually using go to nothing at 2/32?

I'm trying to decide whether to run them at Barber later this month.
