6 days is a bit of a stretch but is doable.
I get about a 1 - 1.5 days out of a set of tires for race purposes. Those same tires will then run 3 - 5 trackdays usually doing 8 - 15 sessions in a day.
2 trackdays out of a set of tires is wasting money, imo.

If you're running big Willow in August you'll need new tires after a day or two.

Track conditions play a big role. Our recently repaved local track will shred a set of tires in half the time of the other local track.
