Is there an advantage to heat cycling performance street tires?

Opinions, useful (factual) information, and experiences please.

 

Bump

 

Hmm, I've always not driven any more than 1 1/2 hour when tires were new, until 500-600 miles were on them. I drove in non-aggressive manner. But then again, "performance" street tires might be a matter of opinion. I did this with ES100's, S-Drive, etc (no Advan or Azenis). But I might just be crazy.

I have found that brand new tires can tear and chunk if quickly overheated. Just as new brake rotors/pads can sheer if not bedded when new.

 

Yeah, I read on tirerack that tires need to be broken in, in the same manner as you described, but I was thinking, if I didn't want to wait, tirerack only charges $15/tire to heat cycle. Is there a disadvantage to this at all? Or is it just a professional/proper break in.

 

I'm not aware of any advantage for street tires, unless you are planning to use them on the racetrack at some point.

 

+1 all street tires Ive used just have a certain amount of miles you should drive before they are considered worn in.

 

For sure. Ok, I guess then it would be a waste of money to have them heat cycled.
