Also since your breaking in anew bike those tires won't be an issue since the brake etc need to bed. Side note though. OEM tires can have a manufacture date of years old even on a new bike.

So from what I'm hearing you should be able to ride to the tires full potential right out of the box and I've been cornering like a grandma for no reason?
