Re: Help me define heat cycling
Find a nice, smooth, clean road and just corner easily for a couple of minutes. The tires will get to operating temperature pretty fast and you want to turn in both directions, but without overheating them.<p>Just don't pound on them. I stop after a couple of minutes and touch the sidewall to see if it feels good and warm, but not hot.<p>Drive them home and take them off the car and let them sit unloaded on their sides for a couple of days. Good to go.<p>I always felt like a nut with the hoosiers on my street car for heatcycling. Man are they sharp responding, but scared me with just the glass belts inside on city roads.
