well, if you're talking just removing at layer, yes... will only take a few miles tops.

but if you want the tire to break in to the car's alignment setting, then it depends how you drive. that can take a few hundred miles if the driver is pretty mild with his/her car.

my new RE11's were broken in within 5-10miles
