Henry,

My TR-4 Hoosiers look exactly the same as yours. I rotate them in a random
pattern which uses the least worn one on the outside front corner and the
most worn on the inside rear corner.  Then I buy two new tires every other
race. I figure it's kinda like rebuilding motors on a twin engined airplane
or rotating clothes in and out of the laundry.

You never want to do it all at once....unless you're rich or really into
fun, safety and haberdashery. You know, like Joe Alexander

Henry:

It's clear to me that you're going WAY TOO FAST.  Those tyres can't take
that 
kind of stress.  You've got to ease up.
