What I do with every new set of tires is go to a large deserted parking lot (in my case the local pool ) and ride circles and figure 8s for a good half an hour . Start off slow and gradually pick up the pace .Circles first 15 mins or so then 8s . I figure this way if I go down I'm going slow, can still lean way over(at the end of the scrub in ) , and there's no traffic or obstacles to worry about .
