Keep track of heat cycles on track tires
How are you guys keeping track of heat cycles,when you have 8-10 track tires..I have been marking on the side of the tire , but is there a better way. would you # each tire 1 - 10, then keep a chart....ie, tire 2 has 6 HC,tire 3 has 10 HC, etc.. anyone have a cool chart?!

I use the silver metallic marker. I put a "N" for Nitrogen at the valve stem, when Nitrogen replaces the normal air that the tire shop used. I then put on a letter for each type of heat cycle such as, Q=Qualify, P=Practice, R=Sprint Race, E=Enduro. Not only can I count the # of cycles, I can typically calculate number of minutes or hours on the tires too.
