Which should I do? The drive is only about 25 miles.

No twisties you can't resist? Then drive it. They aren't that bad on the street. My .02 and past experience with the first generation of DR's.

25 miles is nothing. I used to run DRs as my daily-driver tires in college. I'd get about 6k miles out of a set before they became dangerous.

Drive on them . I am the proud owner of Derek's Handmedown BFG Drags. My track is 60 miles round trip and I go 2x a month.

Pebbles? Dude, he's asking about BFG DR's not Mickey Thompson ET's.
Just drive on them. I daily drove on a pair while I waited for my Iforged to come in.
