Default When to replace BFG Comp. DR

I have the 17 X 315 Comp BFG Drag Radials, Not sure when to replace them, Should they be on the track when they are bald threw & threw? I sthat the good part or should they be replaced before completely down to no treads?

I use the exact same tire, I change them when all the tread is worn off, ONLY because I have to drive 100 miles home... but if you change them at the track, or don't have far to drive you can get a lot more runs out of them..

They are just staring to get good. You can race on them till you see cord.

For me once the tread went away, the tires got much less consistant for me and don't stick as well.
