Scrubbing in

[keith dublin]

Have new tyres on the way, should be here tomorrow
My question is ....do you need to scrub them in in any particular way or just drive handy for a few hundred miles
Cheers

Yeah, a set of Marigolds and 4 Brillo pads, should do the trick .

What tyres you getting? Just take them handy at first

A048r think they are more track than road so was wondering was there anything special I needed to do to get the best out of them

100kM is what I did to scrub mine in. Throw it around the odd roundabout .
The 1st 50km is shocking how bad they are on grip

It's going to be awkward having to take off the tyre warmers to run to the shop

 

[keith dublin]

No big deal I'll get the wife to do it..lol

As a pure favour, I'll take the car and scrub the tyres in for you. Once off, as I don't want you to take advantage of me.
