Heat Cycling for DE Track Tires

Mike, not argueing with your desire to go quicker by changing tires but be aware - in my experience, R tires will definitely NOT be more consistent over the length of a session than your street tires. They are designed to work extremely well when certain parameters are met but are horrible when they are not met. R comps can be both too cold and too hot. Your street tires are designed to work consistently in any conditions.
