Brand new tires need to wear in before their characteristics are normaliZed.
This includes a few hundred miles of driving in order to wear off a manufacturing coating and a few heat cycles to "set" the rubber. Heat cycling is when tires are driven the friction builds a lot of heat. And they retain that heat while driven until they sit and cool off. This is very important in track tires but still important in street tires.
Point being brand new tires don't drive like they will at 300 miles
