i don't know what all goes into "truly" heatcycling a tire, but if operating temp is the biggest factor, sure you can...

we drove from the hotel to beaverrun and my tires were at 34 hot...after the first session, they were at 34 and 36 hot (R to L)....car was sliding all over the place.

we then dropped them all the way down to 26 hot....and the car was good.

26 hot on the OEM 17's right?

Rob (steeley) was saying this too.. in the 20's for hte 17's

From what i have read OE - S-02 on the 16's it should be 38ish hot.

I'll re-word.

steeley was running 20 hot something psi on his RE-050's as per jeff or joe's recommendation. I was surprised. He said it made a world of difference.

It got me wondering about the pressures needed on the OE 16's with S-02's

Any comments?
