Default New Tire Break-in?

I just replaced the stock Dunlop Sportmaxx tires on my IS350. I went with the Goodyear Eagle F1s. I'm just wondering what kind of break-in is recommended? I've heard one person say to take it easy for several hundred miles which makes sense. Another person actually told me that it's best to take a few corners fast to let them "break-in" properly. Should I take it easy on them for a while?

Tire Rack says to drive easy the first 500 miles or so. Go to their site and read the article.
