I'll just hope for the best and try to shave them the old fashion way

Just remember to be smooth...the more you attack, they more the tires will slide, causing damage to the tread block. I'll be curious to see what you think as I usually use a DOT R compound tire and don't have a lot of track experience with street tires; only what I witness as an instructor (I've brand new tires gone in one track day!)
