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?
