I just take it easy for the first session ,that was when i was doing front and rear at the same time.Just rear do 3 -4 laps and go go go

Glenn, at Allfixed, fitted a new front tyre for me.

Cleaned the wax and shit of at the same time. All part of the great service

Or scuff em with a bit of sand paper if ya like.
Most shops that fit your tyres will use a product...(Tyre Buff..I think it's called...anyone know for sure??)
But certainly take it easy getting on the gas for the first few corners/laps..
Are you using warmers.?

Yep "Tyre Buff" is the product you are after. I bought a can off Craig White (WRP) for $15 a couple of years ago and still have heaps left. I quick wipe around the tyre mainly towards the edges, 1 to 2 revolutions, and it should be right to go. I fitted a new front on my 9 for the last race at the BSFoS and didn't have any problems during the out lap and had it well and truly scrubbed by the time I lined up on the grid.
