dswoofie Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 What is the quickest and easiest way in which to tidy up tyres. The tyres on my F1 Renault have a rather prominent seam all around the centre of the tread. As they are slicks, I suppose some form of sanding will do the trick, but is there any 'special' tips or tricks around this? Karl.

Well I suppose take it to about 12,000 rpm, then sideslip the clutch...

To get rid of the seam on rubber tyres, I generally use a fairly coarse grade of wet 'n dry on them, with plenty of water to stop the rubber 'picking up'. Usually works.
