Difference in compound makeup of the tires....lol
cmon now doc cut me some slack! i looked for 2 weeks to find some company that could do the cycle on a machine, none to be found.
40 lbs for the street to stretch the rubber sidewalls, higher than norm speeds to build heat in the tires and my figure 8's were done in 1st gear at bless than 10 mph with nobody around. my temp gage is a small pocket unit.
how else would you cycle the tires ? everything i have read says if not heat cycled the lifespan of the tires could be cut in half and as expensive as they are i want all the life i can get
