Street Tire discussion

Just get a really big sander out and sand them down until they are slicks. Real race cars run slicks.

Or wait a couple months and I will sell you some "shaved" RS3s

I'm not sure why anyone would pay to have the usable rubber on a tire stripped off.

Just run them for a few hundred miles on the road to get the manufacturing chemicals off and you'll have grip out the door.

Less tread squirm.

Less tread squirm.

...and less heat as well as no where near as likely to chunk.

[Erv]

so verdict?

[engled]

Which tire to shave, not all get the same benefit from my understanding

[Cholewa]

I doubt a stock green been's suspension and seating arrangements would let you even feel that.

[e30Racer]

goat pee

[Erv]

Suspension isn't going be stock long

[mpcavana]

I would not shave the tires. The block patterns are quite large on Toyo and Hankooks which lessens the effect. If you were planning to run for trophies in Lincoln and needed a couple tenths then you might shave them just to cover all bases. Running regionally or even Tours, do not waste your money.

Am I the only one running Federal rs-r?

Meh. Probably so.

[rodhx]

You are probably the only one who has ever seen the Federal tire. There has been lots of internet talk about it but I haven't seen any real experience with them.

Darryl has some Ederals. They took the "F" off and put flames on the sidewall. Is that close enough?

[engled]

The Ederal's are the ticket, the got flames an everything!!! Mad tight yo...
