[QUOTE="David Hester, post: 9107680, member: 6794"] Daily driving does cycle your tires. Think about it. Street tires wear out, too. Oils and such that keep them soft is squeezed out, even if you don't get them hot. Will you notice a difference? Not all at once, but over the course of several months, yeah. They go away. I have a set of 615's I'm too lazy to swap back to Coopers on the Roush. They had gone away the last event I ran. That with less than 1000 street miles. True R coumpounds are even worse. Now I'm just going to wear them out on the street and get new ones in the spring... Another thing. The rubber compound is meant for summer heat. They don't like cold. Turn into bricks near freezing. I don't think Tire Rack does Nittos', but if you look at the fine print on ALL the summer performance( Kumho, Goodyear, Yokohama, etc.) tires they say don't use near freezing. R compounds, even more so. We had a SARRC race at Road Atlanta last February. We won't try that again. [/QUOTE]
