Unlike donuts, which are usually served fresh, tires have to be shipped, expedited on transport and then sit in warehouses up until its new owner adopts them. That process can take a few weeks or a few months. In addition, during the manufacturing process the tires are coated with a release lubricant to keep them from sticking to their molds. That said, some of this lubricant stays on the tires up until they're worn off so you really do need to break in tires in order to get the full traction. Do keep mind some tires take up to 500 miles for proper break in and to experience the full potential of the tire.</p> a <br /> Photo Gallery: <a href="http://www.superstreetonline.com/techarticles/1301_breaking_in_your_tires/">Breaking in Your Tires - Ultimate Wheel & Tire Guide</a><br /><br /></dt>
