That is not the same as track use. The temps reached and extreme heat cycling combined with lateral g and braking forces cause them to fail. You can run them on the street forever. Maybe even novice track guys on street tires or r compounds for a few years. Once you get to Hoosier/slicks etc. The need to be replaced.

You can replace them at regular intervals or be hard headed and hate yourself when they snap on you. They are fairly cheap and take a hr or two to replace. Is it really worth the risk........no.
