Thruxton, how punishing is it on tyres?

Hi,
As per the title, how tough is it on tyres?
We have a Trackday booked on the Friday and a 30min qualifying and 40min race on Saturday. I have 2 sets of part worn tyres (maybe 1/2 worn one set and 3/4s worn the other set) to use.

It is heavy on the front right tyre in particular but I suppose it depends on the weight and layout of the car.

Part worn tyres for a race?

Car is an E36 BMW weighing about 1200kg.

We ran one set all last season and the opening race this season, if they aren’t worn out we don’t replace them (we don’t have the budget to throw a new set on every race unfortunately).
