[sjtb]

Yo guys, whats the general consensus on bedding / wearing in new tyres? i read something somewhere like drive "slowly for 300 miles" or summat awful!!

Yeah give it a couple of hundred, if you can resist!

drive on them like you intend to drive on them

personally dont think it makes a difference, the compound of the tyre will still be the same

10min burnout solves that problem

Take round a roundabout a couple of time to take the shine off the side walls, then carry on as intended!

Flat out as fast as you can for as long as you can dont stop for anything watch out for police!!!

 

[simonjones10]

Oh and you better go round some left handers too!

Aroundabout the wrong way praps?

Often feel a bit slippy to start with until all the *rap has worn off the surface. You will feel the difference after a few miles.

wouldnt worry about bedding em in, just drive!

 

[James20VT]

a few handbrake turns and some emergency breaking will bed them in

Take it easy on then for the first hundred. Its not so much bedding in the compound, but bedding/sticking the tyre against the rim.

You drive too badly for the first few miles and it might just pop off or collapse into the rim.
