When I get new tires I just ride around back roads weaving back and forth in my lane to slowly wear the strips down. Then I just gently start my turns, leaning in a little more each time with a little more gusto every few more miles. But definitely go easy on your exits with your throttle until you're sure you've worn in the whole tire. I was riding to almost my full potential on my Pilot Powers at around 50 miles without a problem. Then again, my full potential is probably nowhere near the tires' so whatever that means.
