The first thing I did when I got home after the tires were installed was check the tire pressure. It was only 2-3 lbs above recommended, which seemed ok since they were already warm. The next morning I set all 4 exactly to recommended pressure w/ my air compressor.


I'm a bit anal with that stuff, as I even re-torque all my lugs anytime someone touches my wheels. I had a good friend that had a new tire put on, and his shop forgot to tighten down his lug nuts... he pulled over after hearing a rattling and found 2 of his 4 lug nuts had fallen off with the remaining 2 very loose!


Interesting that I'm finding a number on-line comments saying that it's not unusual for tires to take 300+ miles to break in. Now I'm waiting for this CA rain storm to end today so that I can start pushing the car again!
