Default Breaking in the DR's...

Okay I got the BFG T/A 2 DR's mounted today. I won't even mention how much it cost to get them mounted here in price gouging Orfukinlando[:@] Apparently, any rim larger than 17" is considered a "performance" rim and costs more to mount tires on even though they use the same damned machine. WTF is that bullsh!t?!??! Anyway I'm pissed be cause they took forever, charged me an assload, and then had to redo one because "Derek" the retard put the tire on backwards (inside on the outside)[:@] I hate going to these places...

So, lol my question is... Is there anything I need to do to break these suckers in before I hit the track tomorrow at 6 p.m.? Do I just go aroudn the water box as normal and give them a quick cleansing spin, or should I roast them once to get them sticky? Sorry for the rant, I had a bad day.

I don't have a pic of the DR's in my gallery, so Idunno what you were looking at... I'll post pics in a second. I'll drive with them on to the track and run them at 26 psi then work my way down to 20psi and no lower. they are 275/40/17's

well the reason is, They are mounted on an 8" rim. I figured too low and I risk a blowout due to the rim not being 9" like it would ideally be.
