    Does any one have any empirical evidence for the existence of new tire
    "mold release" other than anecdotal folklore?

    Yet more anecdotal evidence:

    Last tire I bought, I did an accidental burnout leaving
    the tire place. Apparantly it was more glopped up with
    whatever than most new tires.

    Bottom line:

    You can assume your new tire may not have 100%
    of its normal traction for the first hundred miles, or
    assume that it's at 100% as you leave the shop.

    Probably prudent to assume that it's at less than
    100%. Your choice.

    I thought everyone knew to scrub in new tyres gently before giving them
    full lean, as it were?

    I thought I was being careful when this happened. Hot day,
    soft pavement, and as I said, perhaps more glop on the tire than
    usual. 7-8 paris of tires on the same bike and still a mild
    surprise.
