Since the weather was crappy I decided to have my new Dunlop Qualifiers mounted. I'm scheduled for my first trackday of the season on June 3rd. I usually take turns at a spirited pace on the street but not quite as hard as on the track. My question is whether street riding puts enough heat in your tires to be worried about too many heat cycles and wear before a trackday. I know nothing about this so just looking for opinions or suggestions to clear it up. Thanks.
Your tires will be fine, give them 2 laps to heat up and don't ride over your head. You'll be fine.
