I say this because I have ran Potenza Pole Position a bit past this point, and I had to bail out of a session, as they lost big chunks of thread from the shoulder. Caused me to understate and drop 2 wheels off. No big deal as there was tons of runoff. Also I was able to drive them home. But that was too close for comfort.
I would guess you can still get away with one day, but you might be close to seeing cords.

Why not go to a tire shop and have em swap left to right and vice versa?
Im in a similar situation and a bit too lazy to go to a tire shop so I am going to run the tires in reverse. Since its not raining it shouldnt be much of an issue.
5.M0NSTER has a good point, how long is the session? what do u risk if you run them to the chords? etc |
Yes, as mentioned in my OP, I will be switching the tires left to right, right to left (so the worn-out shoulder on the outside, will now be on the inside).
Barber will be 2-day weekend with 4 x 30min sessions each day. Car will go on a trailer (8-hrs each way. I'm not driving the car).
This is my first experience with tire wear on track, so trying to get a feel for how much degradation I can expect thru one more weekend.
I was hoping to get one more weekend and then replace the whole set but if this tire is borderline going to mess up my weekend, I rather replace it and only have to worry about my driving.
Thanks for any experience you can share.
