What do you do the night before new tires?

Doesn't do your rear brakes any favors.
Is doing one power brake like that really any different from hard stop event? If you had to hit the brakes on the highway for a wreck or light turns red and you need to stop in a hurry. I really wonder what the wear difference honestly equates out to. My guess is one or two hard stops from 60. Could be wrong

Yeah, but which one is more fun to do...

Nobody buys a raptor to be economical

I don't know 18-19 mpg on average and a little better on the highway is pretty economical from what it is.

That mileage sounds awesome, hopefully my new truck is anywhere close to that. I’m coming from a not much fun 41 mpg economy car to ordering a Raptor Scab and will be driving about 20K annually.

I fully endorse using ALL the rubber on the old tires before turning them in.
