Even leaving bike in garage for 5 months or so over winter can make tyre surface a bit shiny, I always take it very easy for first 10 miles or so when I first take bike out after winter ( good advice anyway to get some skills back) and give the tyres as much road contact all over as I can ( even staying more upright to lean the bike over more MotoX style ).
