For track use, does the Nitto NT-05 have life past the wear bars? Can I take them down to cords?
We can assume these tires are for track use only, in dry conditions, without consideration as to heat cycling.
Thanks.

Now, if you meant NT01s, there have been a few people who have taken them down to the cords and they last much longer than NT05s and are a true track/DE tire.

Very little past the tread. Lasted me 3 full track days. That's it. Yoko AD08s were FAR better in terms of grip and lasted me at least 8 days before I sold them with 50% tread left.
