    call the toyo rep...

    I used to scrub shaves with a 20 minute session at about 8/10ths and then put them in the corner of the garage over night.

    The new 888's might have a different proceedure though so toyo tech line might be your best source for info.
    Ah, fugg it.

    My debacle at ECR is a good axample of old tires.
    All of mine were old and were fast.
    They are not if they havent been run recently.
    R4 I had 2 that werent run in some time.
    ( 1 corded after R3, 1 flat just befor R4)
    They didn't come in until the last lap or 2.
