I drove my 235 RE71's on the chords for about a month, (when there was no snow/and just light rain), lasted quite a while like that....your common sense / state inspections may vary.
Honestly, the set of 235 RE71R's that I bought was the LONGEST LASTING 200TW TIRE I HAVE BOUGHT FOR THE FR-S. These tires actually lasted significantly longer than the BFG Rivals and Dunlop ZII's that I've had multiple sets of. Highway driving and autoX every weekend. The First few 32nds of tread on the Bridgestones wears away very, very fast. It makes you think the tires the are going to wear away to nothing in one month, but then it stabilizes, and they remain at the same tread depth for a very, very long time. I don't think the AUTOCROSS life on these tires, while mixed with highway driving is any less than the other tires. This is likely because I was sliding around so much on the Rivals, resulting in faster wear....but if you're driving the car HARD, and not pus5y-footing it on course, your wear of RE71R's should actually be quite good.
They still have grip on the chords, but the fresh set of 225's that I just put on is definitely a lot better. If you're driving slow as shit on course, and like an old man on the street...well you should have bought harder tires to start with anyway.
