New or Old tires for Driving School

New or Old tires for Driving School
I am looking at going to a driving school in about a month. Right now, I am between 1/32 and 2/32 of tread left on my tire.
It hasn't rained in atleast 3 weeks, and I don't have to drive too far to work if it does. So I am not very worried about the tread in relationship to driving in the rain.
I was wondering if tires with 1/32 of tread will be sticker than new tires? I know some people shave their tires, so I wasn't sure if 1/32 would be ok on a track.
Thanks for your time!

That's a bit thin....most track days/schools won't even let you on track with less than 3/32 or sometimes 2/32. Not only that but you'll go through a good amount of rubber and run the risk of getting down to the nylon if you don't have much tread left. I'd reccomend new tires.

It is illegal to drive a car on public road with tread less than 2/32". You should change tires now so that you will have time to break them in before going to the driving school.
