If you replace RE71R when wear gets to the indicators, you're getting less than half the useful life out of them. I would also be at the indicators after 4 track days, but when I kept running them on the BRZ while Porsche was in the shop last year, I got 6 more track days out of them and didn't reach the cords or lose much if anything in terms of grip due to heat cycles.
