New snow tires "break in period"
I've got the Blizzak REVO 1's... what's a typical amount of mileage to be considered a good break in for new tires? I commute 100 miles each day that I work at mostly highway speeds.
TIA,

Dave

I think I was told 50 miles. A spirited drive down a twisty road should cover you.

I didn't know snow tires had to be broken in...other than to rid the release lube.

Yup the removal of the release agent is all. 50 miles average.
