My car is not a daily driver and doesnt come out in the rain. Granted, right now, they are toast tread-wise. Do they still do their job as a drag radial? yes, they are sticky when hot. Would i want to be in the rain right now with the tires not at all but they serve the purpose i want them for, to hook up.
I also racked up many of those miles on the highway, over long trips. I dont normally drive like an a-hole either(not saying you do)

Ive used totally bald MT's at the strip a couple of times. Although as you dont know how close you are to breaking through, and the carcass is so thin, I wouldnt trust them. Especially for racing.
the last thing you want is a puncture
Over here, tyres must retain a minimum of 1.6mm tread depth ( about 64 thou ) across the central 75% of the tyre.

And exactly like was said above, no john force burnouts haha. I mean Nittos arent great drag radials if you need serious traction. They definitely hold well when warm but they still have their limit. M/Ts are much much better but i wanted life out of mine and thats why i go with the nittos
