I have a new set of Kumho Victoracers and I was wondering about heat cycling and other questions.

This is my first real year so it's a learning year. I just want to get out there to get experience and will probably use the tires way past their max heat cycles because of the lack of funds.

This weekend is the first meeting (southern hemisphere) and I do not have time to heat cycle them. I understand that it may not be wise to run 'un-heat' cycled tires. The alternative is the old A008RSs (freebies) that I have been using for drivers school, etc last year.

I drive to the track rather than trailer it and space is at a premium. Is it OK to drive on the new Kumhos to the meeting (approx 60 miles to and then there's the return trip)? [For future races, I can bum space in another team's truck!]

I apologise for what may appear to be cheap-skate racing. It's a start.

Regards

Mac
