I might put 5000 - 10000 miles on this car a year.. so a set every year or two isn't that bad. This isn't a daily driver and I like the way they grip on other cars Ive driven. Besides, it's a pain to own a track set and a street set of wheels and tires..
Does the mfr advise shaving them for dry use?

In the "care and feeding" section of many "R" compound tires on tirerack.com there are statements to the effect that running "R's" at 6/32 can cause asymetric, localized wear.

Insert "shaving" joke here ---> [_______________] because I know SOMEONE is thinking about it.
