I've ordered some Hoosiers for solo2 use, from TireRack.
(in size 215/40/16 which is not listed on tire rack.com).
Normally new tires require gentle driving for the
first ~200 miles because
1. the lubricants used on the rim when mounting can allow
the tire to spin wrt the rim, and then balancing will be off;
2. the new tire is still greasy, and will not grip well.
3. a gentle heat cycle will increase the tire's longevity.
I ordered the tirerack heat cycling service.
I expect this service takes care of #3.
What about concerns #2 and #3 ?
Should I drive my Hoosiers on a street for a bit, or should
the first time I use them be a timed solo2 run ?
squid.
