Why and how is it necessary to run in new tires on a car?

Few car owners know that brand new tires also need to be run in, just like the car itself. Fact: tires must be adapted to the conditions of use. And until this happens, there is a risk of a “floating” effect and even an increase in braking distance. How to drive in winter tires, the AvtoVzglyad portal will tell you.
In all fairness it is worth saying that even the manufacturers themselves often say that the performance of the tire only starts to show itself after a few weeks of use and in a fairly active driving mode.
For example, spikes in the seats of the rubber layer must be attached at an identical depth to each other. During production, of course, every effort is made to ensure that the “thorns” are fully anchored in the “rubber”.
However, only during movement and under mechanical load can the teeth sink well into their pits. And if you slow down several times on brand new tires, as they say, on the ground, then you can just be left without a whole scattering of “claws”. I don’t want to talk about losing the trajectory at all…
Therefore, you should not let the tires slip regularly and braking, like the last time, is also not recommended. To adjust winter tires, it is better to maintain the cruising speed, ideally on asphalt and at a temperature not higher than 5-7 degrees. Snow no longer helps the tires to get used to, and the driver – to actively work on the steering wheel.
Experts believe that 150-250 kilometers is enough mileage for the tires to perform. This also applies to friction tires, which have heterogeneous formations in the upper layers, which in some places reduce the access of oxygen to the rubber compound to achieve optimal driving characteristics.
In addition, Velcro is often covered with a protective film that prevents the slats from getting dirty, but at the same time reduces the toughness. Running in will rob the tread of the remnants of technical lubrication, and the tire will, as they say, run for all the money.
