Scrubbing In Tyres

Just wondering how long on average it takes to scrub in a new set of tyres?

I've driven mine about 50-60km and they don't feel like they grip like they should be. I'm still sliding around a bit on them when on power and going thru long, fast corners.

They're Hankook k104's.

In my experience it depends on the tyres,

with my last set of T1-Rs they performed as good as they ever would pretty much instantly..

with my last set of Dunlop SP Sport Maxxs it was not long before they were grippy, less than 50km..

i just got a set of hankook Z212 RS-2s, when i first got them it was like driving on oil, i have now driven about 280km on them and they have improved but i still dont trust them. I predict they will probably become good with 100km of hard driving or 200-300km of normal driving.

it doesn't happen overnight.

With my T1-Rs although they seemed great even driving out of the tyre shop, i made sure they were run in and it did happen overnight.

A good 400km round trip on one of my favorite roads the day after i got them left no doubts :P

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
