    Heat Cycling Service Locally?

    Is it possible to get a tire heat cycled locally even if you didn’t buy from them?

    Sure, I don't see why not. You are paying for a service. That said, I was told by a bridgestone engineer that it is a waste of money as those types of services can not put enough stress into the tire to properly heat cycle it.

    My local tire shop refuses to m/b new tires that were not purchased through them, though they’ll install your used tires (e.g. taking winters off for summers on same rim). And on my first VW 15 years ago, I had a garage owner refuse to install a Milltek catback as his preference was to build me a custom one (even though it wasn’t a specialty exhaust shop). Both gave me the lines of “would you bring your own eggs to a diner?” lol.

    But my question was more geared towards what kind of specialty shop offers heat cycling? It’s not like this is standard equipment most tire shows carry...
