I think the OP is worried about using new tires when on the track and he shouldn't be, hence my advice that he should get new tires.

Oh sure whip out logic to win an argument when you're down.... 
I do know that you'd have to be driving a lot harder than I am to cord tires down from a point starting at the wear bars in just one weekend. My RA1s went six track days since running out of tread completely (slight evidence of the two main grooves remaining), and I finally pulled them off in disgust at being unable to get down to the cords. I suspect they still have another full inch of good rubber underneath the original tread.
