[ST] heat cycles

["bare" <barenekd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Heat cycles do play a role in tire stickyness (not address), but how
many people count the number of heat cycles on their street tires?

Heat cycles are critical only to racing tires. Street rubber is formulated
not to have the issue. This is why it is bad practice to use used race tires
on the street. They have generally exceeded their heat cycle limits and have
lost some traction, and as such, do not offer any better traction than good
DOT tires. As so not to get flamed here, they do stick nicely, but not like
a good new race tire.
