How long should tyres take to properly scrub in?

I've just had a set of new Eagle F1 Asymmetrics fitted to the back of my 530 and have done about 250 miles on them I think, but they still seem really rubbish grip-wise. Putting your foot down at 4500rpm in second/third now makes the DSC blink blink blink even in the dry, which the old ones didn't do before, even on the wear markers.

They are getting a bit better, but I'm sure my last set (or the GSD3's before that) never took this long to break in - is this normal?!

I've just been doing local work in the last week so no motorway miles, just a few on the A34 I guess.

This is my third set of Eagle F1's now I think and I'm sure I never had to wait this long to get decent grip before.

Before anybody suggests it, tyre pressures are correct

Says made in Germany, so I assume they are proper ones!

Haven't had time but I know they need cleaning, might get round to it at the weekend
