There is supposed to be a little stripe that shows when you're supposed to get rid of them

I think a rule of thumb is ~ 100 passes with a mild burnout for each pass and zero street driving. I have a set of 3 year old ET Streets with maybe 2000 street miles and 120++ passes and they were still in the upper 1.6x 60' range when I retired them.

I think you toss the ET drags when your car goes sideways in 4th gear
