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.
