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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
