Default Toyo R888s, safe for one last AutoX this year??

Hey guys, I'll make this real quick, one of my front R888 scrubs is just starting to show the cords in one area as you can see below (it doens't extend much further around the tire than what you can see). I switched it with the other side to make this the outside edge before the last event, and I have one more event this year. Is it safe for a bit more or should I not even try??

Tech should send you home. I suppose if I lived a few miles from the event, and the event was only 3 laps, I might take my chances. Other then that, I would buy new tires.

Don't believe I'd chance it. I ran at CMS on a corded tire. $2000 later after it blew and took wheel house and right corner panel and right head light cover with it, I was asking myself what the hell was I thinking!
