BRAND NEW TIRES: drive on them 1st before racing?
Should I maybe drive on them to the track, or just put them on there & heat em up real good doing a burnout?? These are 100% new BFG DR's.
Thanks. Also, what pressure are you running these on, 22 psi warm?

Ellis were you asking about heat cycling the tires to try and improve their life?
My first set of BFG's I did not cycle and got like 75 runs on them.
My second set I did cycle and I have 48 runs now with about a dozen or so more on them before it is time for new ones.
What does this mean? Dunno, I am just whining about short tire life :cry
