As for bedding in, I was gentle with them for the first fifty miles or so then used them normally. I was more a straight line man than quick through the corners so don't or didn't use them heavily. Only a few times have I had to really step on them. Since Germany I've got to know the car and it's capabilities a lot better and now drive quicker through the twistys (all within legal limits of course) so need this on going issue sorted
Mortster, sorry for high jacking your thread.
