Here's how I insure my tires are gonna stick...I use these on the corners:
And of course I warm them with chicken-hawk tire warmers before I take the 1st corner:

I'm confused, how does the dyno prepare tires for corners as he asked above?

just lower the pressure and strap it
of course this only works for the rear

Just take it easy.
Make sure they are warmed up and lean a little at a time, donot think too much about the new tyres and enjoy the ride, by the time you have doen 50 miles they should be well scrubbed in.
Never heard of a dyno to scrub tyres though.
Could spin the wheels and use a bit of glass paper, heard of this method but never used it personally.

You could always put a pair of these on your bike till you scrub them in...
