Brand new bias slicks, does one need to do anything special for the first run or two?

Supposedly the biggest thing is getting the mold release off the tire during the burnout. Some will say you need to do a harder burnout than usual for the 1st pass. I do my normal burnout during a time hit & consider them broken in.

I've been on radials for around 15 years & treat radials/bias the same.

I always do a harder than normal burnout the first hit only

Thank you. I will let 'er rip the first time.
