Anyway, just thinking in text here.


In addition not to mention the placebo effect when first test riding the new tires is that anything new is going to have better grip than the grip levels from a worn tire. Where as it's going to be a tough evaluation at least until you have at least 500 miles on the new tires and scrubbed in.
