Heat cycling tires
Well, I am now almost through with my second set of R-comps. My first set, I did not heat cycle at all -- I just put them on and went to town. My second set, I had professionally heat cycled. I can say that without a doubt, the second set has held up much better.
How many runs on each set??
63 runs on the first set, but they were dead at about 52 runs.Originally Posted by POS Racing
I have 73 runs on the current set and they still feel great.
Wasn't the first set 195's and the second set 225's? Could that have figured into the results?
After yesterday, I have 106 runs on my 225's. I heat cycled them myself on the bus lot. (Took damn near an hour.)
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Yes, I and I guess the 195s might have gotten a little hotter during each use, but I really do not know if that was the difference or if it was the heat cycling. Right now, I am sold on heat cycling.
Me too, but I'm too TCB to pay $60 for Tire Rack to do it.

True, also did you make the same percentage of runs at the same venues. I could see any MW use killing about 20 runs worth of rubber.Wasn't the first set 195's and the second set 225's? Could that have figured into the results?

I did 5 events at MWAP, 6 at PMS, 4 on the TMS bus lot. Plus 1 event each at Riverside Annex, Gulf Greyhound Park, LaGrave Field, The Ballpark in Arlington, TMS road course and TVTC at Pearsall.
It was a very fun year.

Here is my tire log. The events with zero runs were in a borrowed car, but I still record them just to track the events I have attended.
Thanks for the record book as I plan to show it to the Lit'l Lady!!

25 runs on Set 1 vs. 12 runs on Set 2 at Mineral Wells. Those extra 13 at MW had to shorten their life IMO.
Then show her the street tire log, too.
They were already dead for the last 13 runs at MR, so make that 12 vs 12.
Holy crap! How many event did you go to this season?
