tyre run in?
Hi Guys,
I just swapped from rfts to michelin pp2(tubeless) yesterday. The car feel so much comfy & lighter. I couldnt resist and gave it some gas on DS mode for few kms, i then rememebred about this tyre run in procedure. Have i done damage to my tyres my giving it a nice run when they are brand new? now i take it easy till 200kms but have i done any potential damage to them? i m worried Thanks.. |

I very much doubt that you'll have done any damage. The "run-in" is more to stop you falling off the road with potentially reduced grip before the tyres get properly bedded in.

The running in period is all about the stuff on the surface of the tyre that helps it release from the mould during manufacture wearing off. Until it is off, grip is badly compromised, particularly in the wet. |
