What this means is that the tires lose grip through repeated heating and cooling cycles and at some point will have lost enough grip as to not be able to turn competitive lap times so they can't be used for racing if the driver wants to be at the front. Freeway driving doesn't get the tire hot enough to count as a heat cycle.

Is that statement also true of the Nito NT01's? Have I been packing my race-tries to the track in a trailer just for show? I've been working from the assumption that the 40-mile drive to the track, and then the same back, would each count as a Heat Cycle.
Not so?
