You can run Toyo's until you see no tread pattern left at all. They seem
fastest at this point. I don't think I've ever actually corded a Toyo badly,
they seem to go off and loose grip just before this happens so I change them at
this point.

If you flip tires with worn in camber (essentially) you end up running on the
outer edge of tread which is now of greater diameter than the inside. This
means your contact patch is greatly diminished when cornering. They will be
horribly slow but you will get more wear. Keep this in mind and don't ask how I
know.
