i have a set of Advan A032 R's which i use for track and have a life of 50 treadwear, im not a genius with tires and treadwear so im asking this question? can i roll with them to and from track because usually i throw them in the bed of my cousins silverado bring an impact wrench, put em on take em off... (because i dont roll on em daily only for track) now i have spacers on my new wheels so its more work
can i just roll to a place like maybe 50 miles one way? and come back it would be more convenient?
just dont know how long these things last, my advans still have a decent amount of tread on em
thanks

I know a few guys that do that. You just have to take weather into consideration. If your tires arent warm enough they wont stick too well. But of course its going to take away from your track life. I'm thinking of doing the same thing so I dont have to worry about it at the track or worry about transporting them.

just trying to save Jun some time and energyTHANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK GUYS
Treadwear ratings are nearly irrelevent as there is no standard for that "metric" and each manufacturer carries their own system. Mileage isn't as much of a concern as the number of heat cycles in my opinion. How long your R-compound lasts depends on the the brand, way you drive (obviously), and the number heat cycles...
