what U.S. cities have elements in their names?
Silver City, NV I'm sure that there are many, especially ones with the precious metals in their names. but there are a lot of cities in the US. and I'm not going to scan them all.
New street tires DO require time to break in (just as brake pads do). It doesn't take 100 miles to break in new tires though. Usually 10-20 miles is adequate. Brand new tires have a slick/shiny finish to them. As Aussie wrote, before break in, it's like riding on ice (I've seen plenty of new bikes go down right after they leave the parking lot). The slick surface has to be scuffed up a bit, so the tread can grab the road. On brand new tires, the tread surface has tiny rubber hairs sticking out. When they ware down to nothing, the tires are broken in.
Same reason when you try out a car at a car lot and mention something about the tires the salesman says they haven't warmed up yet. Bunch of baloney. I do agree street tires and race track tires are two different critters, but when you put on a new set of tires for general use, you should be good to go.
