^ you can still get couple sessions out of those. I'm judging by the wear only. Depends on the heat cycles too. Last time you were on them did they still feel OK? Of course you won't be setting in lap records but if you're wanting to maximize the $$$ then I'd give it a couple more sessions.

I basically run my tires until I start to cord them. Two weekends ago when I was at Texas World Speedway I was on worn slicks and finally corded my rear driver. I was several seconds off pace but I just wanted to finish of the slicks before I moved to another set. On DOT tires you will likely cord them before you heat cycle them out. on R comps or more specifically slicks, you'll likely heat cycle them out before you cord them (assuming your alignment is set up for the tire).

However if you have to drive back on the same tire that you're tracking on then you need to take that into consideration.
