I got curious about why initial heat cycling is important after I admitted I
didn't know why it was important--I generally can't tolerate that situation
for long. After a little research I found this rather interesting site:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/competition/heatcycletech.htm the
page on Hoosier tires are particularly interesting, though the camber
suggested (three degrees) is obviously for radials. If you run three degrees
on a bias ply tire the only place you'll see get hot will be the inside
edge.
