Did anyone heat cycle the 255's with a big rest afterwards? I don't mean heat cycle at an event either.
We are also testing the 255's on a nose heavy FWD car but we haven't been able to get a good read on the A6's just yet for some other reasons.
Not trying to get down on anybody but I think heat cycling is important with these tires.

I was on new 255's that were heat cycled by TR. The fronts showed signs of overheating. However I was running the racing beat sway bar that's coming off.

No scrubbing on ours prior to the ET Pro because they had to be dropped shipped to the hotel to arrive the day before we flew back for the event. We swapped front/rear positions half way through practice launches on Friday, but it doesn't count as a proper heat cycling procedure.

Unless something changed, the A6s were generally not considered to benefit from heat cycling according to Hoosier. I usually tried to do it anyways. Just couldn't do it on this set.

Anyone can join, a valid driver's license is required to drive at events. What area are you located in?
