I just had a new Avon AM-26 mounted to the rear rim of my 850. The folks at the shop warn me that new tyres are slick for the first 75-100 miles because of some treatment the rubber gets at the factory and no amount of scuffing or cleaning them will remove it. We're in the "Possible thunderstorms in the afternoon" season here, and I don't want to go down on a wet road because of slippery rubber. Any comments or advice on this?
