Re: Scrubbing in new tyres
tyres are ment to be scrubbed in for 100 miles. its sumat to do with all the oil n residue fron the mould soaking into the rubber. n it takes 100miles for it all to leak out deno if leak out is right word but it makes sense to me.

Re: Scrubbing in new tyres
spk nglish u tard
100 miles is recommended, I presume in a display of the manufacturers avoiding liability. They can be scrubbed in far less than that.

Re: Scrubbing in new tyres
Somebody mentioned earlier its a confidence thing. Totally agree. We scrub new race tyres in about 3 or 4 laps, you dont need speed just lean angle. Gradually lean more each time and be gentle with the throttle.
The 100 miles figure is probably a distance somebody dreamed up to cover their **** as you left their tyre fitting bay. |
