I've got a road that I call my tyre bedding ride. It's about 50klms long, with lots of long straights & sweeping bends, ending with some tight curves. I take it real easy on the way out, making sure to fully lean into the tight stuff, to clean the sides of the tyres. I ride back with increasing speed, as feel & confidence return. I think every experienced biker has some kind of remedy to overcome this potential problem. & that speaks volumes about our ingenuity & will to survive. My point is, we shouldn't have to. If we've just paid a lot of money to put new tyres on our bikes, we should expect an immediate improvement in the bike's performance (& safety). Not a disclaimer to take it easy.
