To your point, a lot of the responses on here aren't considering the brakes or tires that need to be broken in when they're brand new. I had brakes done on my car recently at the dealer, and before leaving the Foreman said to take it easy for the first 250 miles to let the pads/rotors break in and heat-cycle properly.

I understand tires need to be treated in a similar fashion, not to mention every car I've owned has some kind of engine break-in procedure in their manuals.

Though, I probably wouldn't care either if I was leasing all of my cars...
