They now have about 300 miles on them....
Do sport tires need time to "break in"? If so, how long? Or do these tires just suck?
thanks in advance!

Update.....
Well I have almost 1000 miles on these tires now and they are gripping 100% better (dry road, wet road). I admit not as well as the tires I had on my 2009 Z, Toyo Proxes T1R's. I'm not scared of them anymore as I was when I first drove on them.
Someone needs to tell Hercules that the substance left on the tires after their molding process is VERY SLIPPERY until around the 800 miles mark.
Just wanted to let everyone know.
