Can anyone tells me how long does it take for the new tyres to "run-in"?
Was doing some high speed "Cruise" in a corner and the i lost the grip suddently and the car moved to another lane,
Am wonder is it the tyre ability or due to the new tyres? Had done 400km already btw

gentle reminder to anyone who have the slightest thots on getting the brembo plastic cover: NONONO!
I got lotta attention during driving from drivers riding in sports car (porsche/ferrari) looking at my brakes when they spot the red caliper. Their look is like "let's see if this is a plastic cover or not".
