tire needling

[fez]

does anybody use a tire needle tool? and does it seem to make a difference?

[not clamped up]

Yes we use one,its only 2 races old so my feedback is very limited,we are pretty sure that the tires that we have needled are coming in faster,and thats about all I know for now.

It will help the tire release heat as well as fire off quicker. Check out www.cpdracingtools.com as Denny has a pretty slick setup for this.

I see the siping tool.... is "siping" and "needling" the same thing?

[TeamGRT12x]

No, the needler is an add on. It should be on the site somewhere.

It helps tremendously when used with tire softeners!

Has anyone used this process on slicks for pavement tracks?

I've heard and seen the tool before but never used one. what area of the tire do you use it on and do go from side to side or go around the tire when using the needler
