Post Evo auto-x school: How much tread will I burn?

I'm going to take the Evolution Phase I & II classes hosted by the St. Louis SCCA in May. Has anyone here taken these classes? Can you give me a rough idea of how much tread I might burn off in each class? If I start with new tires will I be down to cord in the rear at the end of the second day? I'll be running S-03 285/30 on 10x18 rims on the rear and 225/40 on 8x18 rims on the front. The car is a '00 C4 coupe with the RoW M030 suspension. Alignment is stock, camber is: -.1 deg front, -1.1 in the rear.

They will not wear that quick. I got almost 10K miles out of my P-Zeros with around 800 track miles and 3 or 4 Autocrosses.

Good Luck.

Brand new 03s? Please at least put several hundred miles on them to wear off all the remaining mold releasing agent. It makes new tires slide too easily. Of course, it will all be gone after the morning sessions anyway.

Yes, they will have about 500 miles on them by the time I arrive.
