Not sure what a hear cycle is. Can you elaborate?
I just installed these tires in the rear and did nothing but drive on them.

not quite the same for drag radials

Most tire shops will do it for a small fee. I know my local Discount Tire offers that service

That says heat cycle. The OP said hear cycle. Did he mean heat?

I have run drag radials for years and never did anything special to them. Again I just installed those exact same tires.

OP, if you aren't going to do any racing, what is the need for heat cycling? Typically, street tires don't gain any benefit from heat cycling, has been my belief; the same for street-driven only drag radials.

I've never heat-cycled my rii tires and usually get about the 7k miles out of them that is considered normal. That is with some occasional hard pulls but no burnouts.
