How often to grind tires?

[latemodel86]

Another question is how do you guys grind your tires? I think you're suppose to grind them away from the leading edge I believe, right?

SAturday nite, i saw a guy grind his tires and then soak them in brake cleaner. He did it right in the open. He went out and won the feature. Not sure if this helps or hurts, but he is fast every week. I sprayed some brake cleaner on a peice of rubber at work and it really softened it after about 10 min. Has anyone tried this on tires . We used gasoline which seemed to work well.

You do not want to use anything that will remove oils from the rubber, unless you want to buy tires each week.

simple green works great to clean tires! i would suspect whoever is telling you otherwise might have used some of the other newer formulas of simple green that are out there. you want to make sure you use the dark green stuff.
