I learned this lesson the hard way also. Years ago I had a new set of tyres fitted to my car. 20 miles away an Audi stopped in front of me. weather dry summer day. It felt like I was on black ice, no traction at all, road surface perfect, was not even a hard stop let alone emergency. I rammed it 
To be safe you need to allow a couple hundred miles to scrub in new tyre, and at ten miles they are nowhere near 50% capable.
Besides, whats wrong with incontinent 90 year olds
