Corey,
The heat cycles on all these tires does vary on many conditions. The biggest variable is your driving level. As speeds increases so does what we expect these tires to do. We drive in a circle clockwise with our friends. So the left side bears the most load and thus highest temperatures. The best way to extend the tire's usefulness is to rotate them side to side. Some tires are unidirectional and can be "flipped" on the rims to get one last event on them. As you continue to use them longer, jack up that car and tale a good look at them at the end of each day. Make sure they aren't corded. Like many activities in life, the feel you get tells you a lot about what's going on underneath you. Cars have a way of telling us when something isn't right. We just have to learn how to listen.
