[QUOTE="CVP33, post: 2010748, member: 70215"] Vulcanized rubber is a real thing. On a road course a little heat-cycling goes a long way. It’s like pre-bedded brake pads, you’re surrendering some material (rubber on tires, material on pads) to ‘flash forward’ to peak effectiveness. That’s a rich boys game at the track as you literally sacrifice 25-30% of track life. On the street: - [B]Pads[/B] you really get to peak effectiveness after a good pad bedding. - [B]Tires[/B] most call it getting the varnish off new tires. Also remember that tires with less tread (your old tires) respond quicker. So new tires can sometimes feel less responsive at first. Not in the rain but definitely on dry pavement. [/QUOTE]
