Tires

I can't disagree with that statement. It's well known some people get things others can't

The No groove no sype 20 rule seem to be fan friendly. If the track is up to it and the format hasn't put the fast cars in front, there have been some good races. They are all on the same tire, so the race fan really doesn't know the difference. One thing, the softer tire should eliminate most of the soaking. It does promote, taking care of the tire wear some.

did the tires last longer

Actually they did. That kinda depends on the driver too and how aggressive they are.

I can get some many more races out of grooved and siped tires. Whether its a LM tire, Mod tire or the Street Stock/Sportsman tires.

OK I might see the no cutting an no siped deal but I think no grinding rule is going to far.i mean how long does it take to grind a tire

Same time it takes me to groove OR sipe a tire.

If youre saying it takes the same amount of time to groove and buff a tire, you're wrong, hate to tell ya. One person can buff a tire in a matter of mins, grooving.....NAH.

The question I always wondered was the wrapping of the tires. Any proof that wrapping a tire makes speed? I mean you buff them after every Hotlaps, and qualifying anyway. It started a few years ago but I'm not 100% sold on it. Only thing I can think of is wrapping keeps a chemical you could get on the tire off of the tire that could possibly make you fail the dreaded tire prep test??? Who knows!

wrapping the tires keeps the oils in the tire not foreign oils

I knew that at the world some drivers were astonished how the tires looked

How can I be wrong if I've done it?

I've seen some guys buff tires while there class is lineing up an still make it in time.He must have a mighty slow grinder.

It tells me that my guy wouldn't want you anywhere near his tires.

I think you read my post wrong. I said a guy could grind one in a matter of mins, but grooving is a different story, unless you're MI Dirt Fan I guess.

[calverton]

i would n't let MI dirt fan touch my lil red wagon lol

[MI Dirt Fan]

With the right tools and work area you'd be surprised how quickly stuff can be done.

They want quality not quantity

Isn't it about time for you to go make a new username

Here we go to having to have new tires on everytime you go onto the track again.. i am sure the tire manufacturers are going to be behind it..

Seems that's what Wissota has done to us with the tire we now have. No grooving or siping, and the original grove will be gone after a feature. Some guys are changing between heat and feature already
