Default time for new tires?

let the great tire debate continue!

what tires do you run for trackdays and how long do you wait before you change your tires? what's your indicator to change your tires?

how many trackdays (no races, no street miles) would you ride on a set of pilot powers before changing? i'm comfortable with 6 trackdays, but i've heard some say as many as 9 days! (in red group, avg pace).

i have a new set of PP ready to mount but as i look at the tires on there now, they look like they have a good amount of tread left. it's not even close to the tread wear indicators. i think i have 5 or 6 trackdays on them and about 3000-4000 street miles. i'm going to change them anyway just for piece of mind, but i feel like i'm wasting a lot of my tire.

so, how many trackdays are you guys getting out of your tires? what prompts you to change them?
