100 Miles is possibly good... But I personally wipe the tires down with a
rag wet with gasoline... The gasoline will NOT penetrat mroe than a tiny
little bit into the rubber but will remove the release agents... Plus,
everyone who worries about gasoline ruining their rubber hasn't sampled the
stuff that they run over in the road...
That's what I do. It works for me.
