Default Cut up Tires

I have really messed up fenders and in result of not rolling them after a while, my tires got really cut up.

I was hoping someone here could tell me the affects of performance and resale value?

Is it even trackable?
Thanks in advance

You can track it, just be easy on it. Does it still rub? If so, then don't do it.

They actually look fine. I don't see any real issues.

How is that possible? Take it to the track but only drive 35MPH?
It looks like the cuts are not as deep as the tread grooves so you should be ok. If there are any cuts that you can see cords, replace the tire right away.

I'm guessing he doesn't use it for Time attack or something, or else he would have different/more tires. You don't HAVE to push your car on a track, you can learn a lot by toning your pace down.

I would have the fender lips rolled though. They look a little rough.

Mine did the same thing about a month ago. I have been to 2 autoX's since, with no problems.
