I don't agree with their statement about RA-1s not needing heat cycling. It might not be as important for max life as with other tires, but it definitely takes 1-2 heat cycles for the tires to develop maximum grip. The first session out they'll be relatively slick from mold release compound and whatnot.
I think they are saying they don't "need" to be brouhgt up to temperature and then left to cool for 24 hours for maximum tread life.
