Default Any reason not to push the car on new tires??
Of couse this would depend on the tires, but still, generally speaking, do new tires need to be broken in for optimum grip. Are they a bit more slippery when new? etc? Thanks!

I generally give tires about 100 miles to scuff of the silicone release agents. After that I let it rip.

New tires are the best excuse to push it---

"um, officer, ya see, I was scrubbing off the sealing agent on my new S02's...."
