Worn tyres

My D208's are down to the wear indicators front and back but becasue i have used them on the track they appear to have kept their profile. Now i wouldnt be happy to use them like that in the wet but for a dry trackday can someone tell me if its a bad thing to use very worn tyres? Does the rubber compound change as you go deeper into the tyre? I would have thought that if most of the rubber has gone then there will be less to move around so you will get better handling, plus more tyre in contact with the road.
