Default New Tires

Ok guys, i just installed my RE750's yest. and was wondering hwo to break the tires in? btw. i have noticed a diff. in these tires compared to the So2's. When i jerk the steering wheel left then right relaly quick now it seems like there is a lot of body roll. Feels like the Threads on teh tire dotn seem to pick up the Direction of the cars weight quick enough. I dont konw if that makes sense but if not let me know thanks.

Wrong forum, but here you go:

New tires are in good shape within a few days of driving. The sway you feel is due to 2 things: higher tread blocks (assuming your old tires were worn down) and softer sidewalls (softer ride is the tradeoff). You'll get used to it as the tires wear down, and then be surprised again next time you replace.

edit: RE750 are very good tires, so don't worry

yea. the 750's are great tires. the sway could be due to air pressure as well. the tire shop put 40psi in my tires and they swayed, i just lowered the pressure to 32psi and it felt TONS better
