Race tires?

Anybody commute on race tires?

I recently bought a pair of Schwalbe Ultremo R.1's to see what really nice tires feel like. My plan was to keep them for long weekend rides, but I gave them a try on the commute today and I don't know how often I'll be able to keep them in the garage. The difference between these and my Panaracer Ribmos is just crazy.

Sure, they cost twice as much as the Ribmos and I'd probably have to replace them at least twice as often, but can you really put a price on enjoying the ride?
