Bedding in new tires....

[slimjim]

OK,

 

 

So after lots and lots of help from you all, I finally have some good tires on my back wheels!

 

So, how do I bed them in? Do I need to drive gently for a couple of hundred miles?

Do a 40-50 second burn out?

 

What do I have to do?

 

Cheers peeps!

drop it like its hot!

 

lol just joking, take your time, no point in destroying half your money on the first run

Depending on tyre, up to 500 miles average driving.

as above about 500 miles, depends on the tyre and how much release agent they use. toyos are pretty bad for it.

 

 

and don't do a burn out on new tyres, the rubber is heat sensitive and need a few heat cycles in them to be at their best then they are fine. if you burn out on fresh tyres it can make them not as effective as they could be.

I have recently had new Falkens all round and would agree with the 500 miles to bed in

 

The first 50 or so felt a bit slippery, but now its so much more grippy. Just take it gently, you will feel the difference after a few hundred miles

[slimjim]

Yeah, they felt awful, really slippy on the way back from the tire place.

 

They are the Vredestien Ultrac-Sessanta's....

 

So I need to take it easy for 500 miles ish? ..... Will do!

 

Cheers guys.

vredestiens are pretty well known for lots of release agent.

[rtbiscuit]

you do realise we're in the UK we have tyres, not tires

[Husky]

or bedding in new things tires him out

[Chris`I]

As above take it easy for 50-100 miles then start to lean on the tyres more throughout the corners building up to 500 miles, then they should be good to go.

vredestiens are pretty well known for lots of release agent.

Which means.....?

 

They WILL be slick/slippery for the first few hundred miles?
