Don't you subscribe? ;-)
The point is that the Tire Rack heat cycling machine appears to be
comparable to street driving 100 miles while actual heat cycling as done
by the pros requires the tires to be driven at 100% for a limited
period. So if you want real heat cycling get thee to a skidpad. Or
better yet send me your sticker tires. I promise I will only run them
for 3 laps. ;-)

Mysterious? Misunderstood again... I _thought_ I was very
straightforward. One more try... If you order shaved tires from Tire
Rack chances are they will be heat cycled. So if you tell them you are
not going to pay for heat cycling you may get it anyway because they
seem to do it to _all_ the tires they shave.
