From my experience the sidewalls go away before the dot/tread does. I notice reaction times will start falling off. To me that is the sidewalls going away. Car will still hook and be consentient. But the reaction time spread from the start of the day to the end of the day will start getting wider.

I don't really have any proof of this but when I put new tires on the reaction time spread will tighten back up.

Absolutely, you can waste your time as you see fit.

Meanwhile, I use indisputable data to make my decisions...the TIME SLIP which has shown me over 3 decades that my 60 foots vary .00x from pass to pass, from the first hit on new tires to the last hit I make on my tires, many times running EXACTLY the same 60 foot to the thousand, before retiring them from service which totals upwards of 175 passes on my 3200 lb. door car and upwards of 300 passes on my 2005 lb. dragster and there is still wear holes showing on the slicks from both cars. Further the data on my time slip is supported my the data retrieved after each pass, downloaded from my Racepak Data recorder.
