I think it depends on usage, on a road course (he said HPDE3) he's looking at 50+ heat cycles before they cord, noticing a few extra tenths of pace in the tire would be hard to notice between events over the course of a year or 2. for auto cross where you never get them fully up to temp is...

Nah, no need for breaking in or heat cycling, they'll heat cycle out anyway long before they cord. heatcycling in advance and letting them sit for 48 hours on a slick normally just gains an extra few heat cycles. R7's can gain like 2-4 additional heat cycles before turning into rocks if you...
