It's 6 of one, 1/2 a dozen of the other.

I think the best wearing tires Scott or I ever ran were the two sets I had shaved before nationals.

They also have probably the best grip for the life of the tire.

Driving on Sue's tires the past few events, I'm pretty sure that even though there is plenty of tread left, the number of heat cycles combined with street driving has significantly reduced their grippyness, so did we really gain anything by being able to run them for an entire season?

If I wanted to have a reasonably fast season, I would plan on two sets of tires. Idealy on two sets of rims so after they lost their autocross stickyness, I could still tear them up at track events. I'd probably shave them to 4-5/32nds if they were street tires. Silver State Retread, or whatever they changed their name to is probably who I would use.
