[QUOTE="brkntrxn, post: 9104009, member: 12396"] I searched and did not find a good discussion on this topic, so I am starting a thread. What is the general consensus on occasionally driving your R-comps on the street, say back and forth to work? I have read where Tire Rack, BFG, internet forums, etc. recommend driving you car on the street to get the temps up to 200 or so degrees in order to perform an initial heat cycle on your R-comps. However, if speeds are kept to normal 65-70mph on the interstate, will the temps get high enough that you will effectively perform a heat cycle on your tires? Especially if we are talking a December - January day? I have had slicks in the past that heat cycled out before (not from street driving) and I want to drive my track car to work every now and then. However, I do not want to put extra heat cycles on the tires unnecessarily and at the moment I do not have a set of street tires. Just curious on the general opinion. The specific tires in question are 275/17 and 315/18 Nitto NT01s. -Kevin [/QUOTE]
