When are Kumho Victoracers "done"

I have a set of Kumhos on which the rears are worn to the point where there's only a faint outline of tread; do you think these are good for one more track day?

Hell yeah!

I use them at least one event after the wear indicators on the outside are gone completely... Them are slicks ya got there man...

If they aren't corded and no ones paying you to win, run 'em!

I agree with Chris, Thom, run them until they're corded, but depending on how many run sessions you are going to get in a day and how hard you are on the rear tires, they could be done before the day is over. I'd have a backup set on hand so as not to waste any track time.

I usually cut them in the middle and see if they are still red inside.

I agree with the others run them till they are corded or they don't got no more stick.
