How do you log heat cycles ?

Re:How to log heat cycles on tires ? 15 years, 10 months ago #3469

I simply put a white tire crayon hash mark on each tire after every session,once you hit 4, put a line through the 4 hash marks for number 5.

Chuck,

What "change" were you refering to in the RMR email?

here is the email I sent to the rmr.

"We have some information on the R888's but we need solid data if we are to make a change. I need to know how many heat cycles you get from each tire and when it seems to drop off in performance." ( i then linked to this thread)


I do not think i said enough so yall kind of caught a part of a different email. when we (RMR) switched to the R888 we thought it "felt" faster then we thought it did not seem to last as long as a RA1... all of this is fine but at the end of 2009 we will be able to make "changes" to our rules. This rule "change" period is what i was talking about. So we need data to say if the R888 is better for 944-spec or is a different tire in our future.

I hope that makes it clearer ... or ask me in March.

WE ARE NOT CHANGING TIRES IN 2009

I log heat cycles on an sheet of paper. Each session I just record which set of tires I ran on. 1 session = 1 heat cycle.

I entry that in my computer to log them.
