I did it and figured that these tires need all the help they can get to last longer!

I read up on it and said hell im spending how much on tires why not another 15 to make them wear better and a bit longer.

I was considering the service for the stock S02 we use on the race car but the TireRack sales rep said that on "normal" tires, meaning no soft compounds, the benefits would be very minimal and recomended to save the $15 bucks.

What I do is drive the tires before the race. I put them on my street S2K use them for a full day.

I considered using it for our Kumhos, but managed to do it myself by driving up and down our nearest freeway on/off ramp cloverleafs <G> We've been to several autoxs and two track events and they are holding up fine.
