Will roadcourse eat up my tires?

Should I use my new Nitto 555s on the roadcourse or will 4 - 20 minute heats kill them? I am thinking of just using my NT450s to save my NT555 rubber for the street.

What do you think?

if you are an agressive driver, tires get on a road course. on my SE-R brand new yokos lost 1/2 their life on on event..granted, it was 4 thirty min sessions, but i drive it like i stole it!

Looks like I'll be buying new tires soon after these. I think I am going to run the NT555. They have like 500 miles on them
