My RA-1's are out being shaved, but not heat cycled. I am going to attempt to heat cycle them myself. Does anyone have a guess as to what temp I should try to get them to, as measured by a pin style tire pyrometer probe?

Thanks--Scott

i did the drive on the highway for 20 min. method, then took them off the car and stacked them. My next track event it was 40 degrees out and I could barely get enough heat in them, but I jacked the car up overnight at the track just to be academic about it. Did all that effort do anything? Probably not...

Yup--this is probably compulsive and nitpicking to the nth degree, but since I have a new pin pyrometer, and I am going to do the drive it, park it, and take 'em off method, I though it would be worth seeing if I actually got them hot enough to do the whole rubber crosslinking thing.
