How long/how many miles on average till they scrub in?

Give them 1 to 200 miles to be safe, especially in the wet

So just careful driving for 200 miles, been searching and seen some have to tweak their pressures abit, not sure what pressures start with from new :-/

Lots of posts on the subject of tire pressures, try having a search (box is top right of the page).  Many people here run Toyos so you should be able to find some advice, I don't think most use a different pressure during the scrubbing-in period compared to every day use.

Yeah iv seen lots by searching about different pressures that's why I was getting confused not seen much on the pressures within scrubbing in period tbh as I was assuming people must still use different pressures then but il have another look around

I didn't specifically adjust anything for the scrubbing in period with mine. I experimented with the pressures until I got it feeling right and haven't changed them since. I've found they have improved over time too beyond the scrubbing time.

I've got Toyo's all round.  Done about 300 miles on them now, and today I've been trying out different pressures.  Still yet to decide (but standard pressures seem best for normal daily driving), however, one thing I will say is get yourself a good digital pressure gauge.  The ones on the forecourts in my area, even the digital ones, are not as accurate as I would expect, they all gave different readings (quite significantly different), and two of them were digital.
