All that being said, generally speaking tires don't last that long so you will get a chance to mount up another set with different foams. It may be worth it to do that now so you can compare directly and see what you like best. Nothing better than switching between packs and timing your laps to see.
I am on a large outdoor dirt track with big jumps coming and many long sweepers. It starts off the season hard and wet, but becomes very loose and dusty by the end. It is a weird sand/clay mix that never becomes abrasive, our 8th scale tires last forever.
