Breaking in New Tires
Hello to all. Heading towards my first track event in three weeks and just put a new set of Sumitomo HTR Zs on as the Dunlops were too dried out to go much farther. Should have done this last summer but...
Immediately noticed that the new tires were slick and seem to slide much more easily coming into and out of turns under acceleration. Now I'm thinking that I could have my hands full in a few weeks unless it is just a matter of breaking these tires in. Is there a rule-of-thumb on this? Have already put about 80 miles on them this weekend.
Thoughts are most welcome! Thanks!
