So I emailed FortNine and asked whether there was a video about scrubbing in tyres. There isn't, but there is a mention in this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u74jYkItdD8. They told me they'd pass a suggestion to the video team.

I felt another dangerous factor for 90% upright rider like me is the profile change of the new tire compare to the old squared tire. Most of the time after I change to new tires (even same tire model) I will have a sudden shock due to handling change. The bike lean differently, and trail differently during corner. Most time new tires give a fast lean compare to old tires, if going too fast and not paying much attention the bike will go overboard. But 1 thing I do notice about new tires, if I rode it in the rain new, afterwards the tires become sticky the next day, even if I had only rode 5km on it, maybe the rain would have wash the release agent away, or the water activated the sticky compound in new tyre......

Interesting point, Zirconxi. I ride the same route, day-after-day to work. For the first few days riding with my new tires, I found myself tracking inside the line on the few fast sweeper turns. I had to retrain myself to lean a bit less, as she was dropping into the curves a lot more readily.
