Wouldn't be any different than running worn out bald tires on your daily driver. Insurance company has no control in that. </div></div>

and anyone that thinks they are &quot;getting the last ounce&quot; out of their tires by running heat cycled bald tires on the street are doing themselves a disservice. FRESH tires work better, they turn, they stop, they GRIP ... and they ride better.

I live in AZ and my wife used to tell me that the tires on her daily driver late model Corvette would start to &quot;squeak&quot; around corners after about 11 months of use ... yep, they were heat cycled and no longer gripping as well as they were when they were new. I started buying new tires every year even though they had less than 5k miles on them ... people were always happy to buy good used tires and the cost delta was minimal to have peace of mind that if it rains or she needs to stop or maneuver that the tires would actually respond.

EVERY car that is used in our household gets new tires every year. I have a waiting list of people that buy our old tires but I get the benefit of FRESH tires ...

Ask any &quot;in the know&quot; road racer, autocrosser or drag racer what fresh tires do ...
