By driving it like you stole it. The tires are now 25% wider and have more grip but take longer to get hot. I guess the G-force that the driver takes on a twisty course is pretty high.

The tires do need to get into an operating zone as far as temps go...but perhaps even scarier is that the brakes don't work until they get into their zone as well. So you basically have to go balls-out with no tires or brakes before the car even begins to work for you.
Richard Hammond is by no means an average-joe driver. As some of you know, he has logged many hours in the world's fastest road cars. This is what it looks like when a guy with his resume tries to drive an F1 car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9773pisjCSw
