Sorry but I really don't understand the problem at all. These are tires with a UTOQ rating of below 100. This alone would mean that they will last maybe 3000 ~ 5000 miles. Also why would anyone commute on race tires? If they don't get up to heat they grip worse than $50 tires out of China. When I drive to the track on race tires I am always extremely careful as I know my braking will be longer as on normal street tires.

I don't get it, that's the same as commuting to work in a dragster and then complaining about the lousy gas mileage or to put Pagid Yellow or Orange race pads in the calipers to commute. It just doesn't make any sense.
