Just got them installed on my car and going for a cruise after a shower. I was planning on heat cycling them, but haven't researched how necessary it is to do so.

Should I? If so, how many times and is there a 'best' way to do it (amount of times, miles on freeway and such)

Thanks in advance, Jazzer

There is no break in/heat cycle period for these tires. Just becareful when you first take them out because you do have 2 factors against you that will make them a little more slick. First is the releasing agent from the mold, this will wear off with in the first few miles you put on them. Second is that R-comps when cold can more slick then street tires, once you get some heat in them they will really grip nice.



For the Jazzer, breaking in his R-comps

Thanks, jayel

Just took them for a cruise down the highway for 15 miles or so and all is good. I was concerned with rubbing and have ZERO so far . Took for a very gentle twisty run over some bumps durning cornering and all is good. That 295/30 is HUGE up front and, as per F1's comments, is really a bit big. I will probably go 285's next time so I can stay in the 30 series tire for clearance issues as well as follow his advice for a better suited tire for a 10' rim. He would prefer 275's, but would have to go 35 series and clearance would likley become an issue.

On a side note, I joined the NorCal Shelby Club this morning so I can start getting news letters on AutoX events and such. I would like togive this atryand g/f wants to come out and see me ride the twisty course
