Question for Gary re: Tire Break-in.

Gary,

When Tire Rack road tests tires, are they tested "out of the box" (so to speak), or are they broken in before testing?

Just curious.

Thanks,
Jeff

We do the road portion of our ride and drive testing first before the tires are taken to the track. They go through roughly 120 cycles of our approx 20 mile road route so the tires are driven on both fresh and with some wear on them.
