How many more trackdays do you think you can get out of your tires?
I'm just wondering because your tires went off big that lap and mine actually went off while switching from left to right coming out of that double apex.
I'm scared to run them again for a full day.

I think they have 2 more days of equal wear as this last track day. My rear only went off because I over cooked it. It took a few laps but it started to feel better once I slowed the pace down a little and let them cool a bit. The left side is what started to grease out. The right felt fine. They are not gonna crap out from too many heat cycles like race rubber if that's what you're worried about.
The front never gave me any issues except when I really went too hot into a turn and in full lean hit a bump. It pushed out a bit but I kept in the throttle. Not dramatic at all.

use them again but ride according to how they act.
who cares if you want to work on lap times.
you should just go out there and ride hard and have fun despite your urge to make excuses to spend more money and have what you think you need to be all that. you'll be fine. just ride acording to your tires and ride as fast and intense as they let you.
heck , I was out there on a 600 katana and showin peeps up with two different make tires.
it wasn't until the 6th 1/2 session that they started getting a little harder due to baking them and their response time (time they gave you from breakin loose to going overboard) was just shorter than usual.
then after track day I rode them tires hard on the street and they were edgy in the first bunch of miles or so but after that they were useable and understandable.
