After those hot/cold cycles are done, the tire feels much less sticky when turning.
The same thing will happens with our Insights after the tires harden somewhat.

Yeah, I suspect as much myself. It is probably a breakin process which will take some little bit of time. The actual change in diameter between old and new is so negligible that won'g be likely to have any effect.
