How much tread life left? Will you track them?
I got an option to buy these USED stock 1LE tires. How much track life do you think I can get out of them ?

Those pictures aren't the best, but it looks like there's a good amount of life left. Can you get a tread depth measurement? That would give you the best idea. Also check out the sidewall.
Here is what they measure when new. ^Taken from this thread. http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showth...ht=tread+depth |

7/32" isnt bad. Most sports car tires are 8/32", maybe 9/32". OP, 2/32" is completely worn out. There should be a tread wear indicator in the tread grooves. If the tread is even with that wear indicator, they are done. I dont see any in the pictures you provided. Just guessing, based on the pics, there doesnt appear to be much, if anything left. But as stated above, if they can give you a measurement.....

I believe stock GYs have "divots" to indicate how much rubber there is left. Those can be seen clearly in the pix (with tons of rubber still left). NB some slicks and Rcomps have them as well. But to be sure, call GY or Tire Rack to confirm.

I would figure on at least 2 track days of hard use out of them before you burned the shoulders off of the fronts. Rears several more.

They look practically brand new. There isn't much tread to begin with on them but they are phenominal on track. All the way to the wear indicators.
