Telemetry shows about .2 G's more grip with first few laps on stickers. They will give up after that and get greasy for a few and come back. Stickers that are raced first heat cycle will never maintain the same level of grip after they cool. I tend to trust the actual data rather than guess. This is on a 2680# Mazda. You might get away with it on lighter cars.

Thanks for all the feed back, sounds like the on track break in is still probably the most preferred.
