Default BF Goodrich G-force drag radial + heat cycling????

I am thinking about ordering some bf goodrich g-force t/a drag radials. I was wondering if anyone has a set of these, and whether you were happy with them or not. I was wondering how they performed, treadlife, wet traction and anything else that could be helpful...................... Also, I saw on the website for tirerack that they do something called heat cycling. I suppose it is is supposed to make the tire stronger. Has anyone ever heard of this?

I have these on my car, and I love them. They hook real good for my bolton car, sometimes wayyy to good. I drive in the rain with them also, and they are not bad at all. I couldn't tell you about threadlife, because this is my first set. I bought these like 4k miles ago and about 20 passes on the track and they still look and hook good. I would recommend this tires over Nittos anyday.
