Street tires won't be the same after you track them.

Yay? Nay?

To elaborate more, I think the key question is whether tire compound changes/deteriorates if the tire is being heated past its operating temperature, to the point that the compound no longer grips the same way even after it has been cooled down.

I did 3 laps on my Prius, the LRR tires started chunking immediately.....

I can't tell any difference. I drove the car a lot faster in my 2nd track session than the 1st but the tires still feel good on the street daily driving. I credit the sway bars with allowing me to go faster (or feel confident enough to do so). I would assume I could do another 2 track sessions for a total of 4 track days before thinking about new tires but rememember my fast is a person who has done 2 track events only so I'm probably not stressing my tires all that much yet.
