I havent takin new rubber to the track before,I just got BF Goodrich G-force TA KDW tires.I didnt get the heat(roller) treatment to them.Is this Treatment they do for the life of the tire?Or to prep it for high speed use?
Am I goin to get into trouble w/these b/c they're green(new)?Do I have to take it easy for some reason. I'm used to tires that arent new and werent to begin with. They feel damn better then old but I can't push it to the edge(EDITED: Get them HOT)on the streets to tell whats going to happen,not safe.
Is there anything I should know about takin new street rubber to the track(Sears Point)??:alert:

on normal street tires, heat cycling isn't going to make much of a difference. basically, if you've driven a few times on them, got them to normal highway operating temps then let them sit i think that's all the HC you'll get.
just go to the track and have a blast!! use practice to play with the pressure, if they are anything like my SZ50's the lower the pressure, the stickier they get....
