Other than using trackclub to heat cycle your new cups, whats the best way to do this on the road yourself.

Ie 40-60min driving without stopping with a bit of a back road blast?

Or 30min of hard ish driving?

And leave for 24/48 hours.

Thanks in advance.

I always think that a good Euro run to Spa and a lay up over night is a good way to run them in.

They just need to be gotten hot (not ragged) and kept hot for a period and then cooled overnight.

Not sure 20 mins donuts in B&Q will suffice

Spa's not on the cards as will be using them at end of the month.

You not out to play later at B & Q then for some donuts, you have enough tyres to go through?

So really, either pay trackclub to heat cycle or drive for 1-2hours (nicely) to get them hot, cool down overnight & ready for abuse.
