I've always disliked how much a new tire with deep tread depth rolls in corners.

Working at a tire shop, I can tell you this is absolute bullshit

Fresh "just mounted by my own hands a few minutes before" tires skid like absolute fuck because the tires have a slight coating on them to prevent them from rotting while they sit on the shelf. Its rather oily, so it doesn't grip for shit until you burn it off.

I've actually skid understeered at like 15mph just driving a car around a wet parking lot beause the tires were too new.

I dunno shit about cars, but this looks like the right thread.

I'm about to put on winter tires. My current tires are still in decent shape. Does /o/ hang on to them, or is there some way to get back a decent amount of money on old tires?

If they have good (>5/32 in) tread, keep them for remounting in the spring. You could probably get another summer out of the tires, and you won't eat up your winters in the summer.

I don't know if you have anything with that scam called manufacturer proration, but I would avoid it most of the time. Its generally just a vicious cycle to keep you buying the same shitty tires.

I was going to post this.

First thing I do when I get new tires is a sikk burnout.

Seriously though, a 10 second tire shred will get rid of just about all of that oily bullshit.

I usually just fast cruise (4-5/10ths) up to the top of my usual canyon road and the tires are good to go after that.
