Would you run these tires for a weekend at the Dragon?
I went to a track day with a set of Potenza S-03's in March, and got a nail after the first day. I bought this set of Kumho all seasons to run the second day, then had the Potenzas remounted after I got the one patched. My right front Potenza (the rest are all good) is down to the wear bars now. I need some expert opinions on whether I should mount up the all seasons for the Dragon and the couple of weeks of driving I have before I deploy. Or would you leave the Potenzas on it (rotate them?) or just buy another set of summer tires for the Dragon (my time is running out since I leave on Thursday, though)?
Thanks in advance for opinions/advice

First choice
Run with the Kumho All Seasons (depends on the rims- looks like steelies)
2nd choice
Run with the S-03s but be careful and drive within your handling limits.
Both are OK but in standing water you'll not have as much traction.
Your wear is due to track use with street tires that have heated up too fast and chunked off on the edges of the tread. Very common problem. Less treaded tires do better for track.

I had one of the extra Kumhos mounted to a steelie for use as a spare for a road trip to Nebraska. I'll have it taken off and one of the good S-03s mounted for use on the steelie as a spare for the Dragon.
