And do we do this test when they are hot, car parked in grid? Or, 3 days
later in the cold garage? Never , ever heard of this test.

Take a dime on force it on its edge into the contact surface. If the
dime 
can stand upright on its' own for 10 seconds you've got decent tires.
The 
longer it stands the better your tires are. I don't know how valid the
test 
is but others assured me that this was a decent indicator.
