What's the general rule of thumb you guys follow when breaking in new tires? For me, I focus more on riding smoothly & gently (braking, accelerating and leaning) the first 50 miles. After that, I'll ride normally again.

Is there a rule of thumb to follow? Or is tire brake in a myth?

With my new tires, this is after 30 miles of me not leaning the bike over as much.

Your thoughts?
