Toyo longevity ?

I have a track event with NASA in a few days at Road Atlanta. I'm on the fence about driving the TOYO R888's from Chicago to Atlanta, doing a 2 day track event, and driving back. Give or take 100, so 1400 miles round trip, I know the tires will survive and will be ok but... will they be any use for another track day is my real question.

The TOYO's have a few days left in them, at least 5 or 6 I'd say.

MPS's can do me just fine; I prefer the TOYO's but don't want to scuttle them on just the drive and not on the track.

No I don't have a trailer because I wouldn't be asking this question if I did...
Yes I have an aggressive camber/toe

So in all technicality will the wear on the tires from this entire ordeal scrap them?

Personal experience-> Longest distance driven + what type event driven too

Hummm, I say you take one for the team and let us know.

Will you be at the Chin Sebring April 18th Saturday event? Hope to see you there!

April 15 I have a Test and Tune at Gingerman I was invited to. I would love to go back to Sebring, especially now after a long break and a lot of work to the car.

I'm leaning towards the MPS's but I just might because I want 18's and a trailer. Don't ask how I justified that one... I'll be sleeping on the couch next to the dog for a month.
