Tire Heat Cycling

[Methodical]

I read about tire heat cycling. What's up with this and is it worth it?

if you have a lift it would be worth it to do a couple of times.

it is really hard to heat up a tire and then remove the weight from it before it cools down enough to make a difference.

imo you should just buy them heat cycled.

what type of competition are you doing?

It will basically be a street car with some track time (1/4 miler)

One of the guys I work with uses an oven and pressure to heat cycle and stretch his racing tires (local stock car) so that he can stagger the heights of the tires from the right to left side...
