Buffing tyres??
The previous owner went drifting hence the spare tyres have shouldered quite badly.
Since I intend doing a mixed surface Autosolo soon I reckon I'll use those tyres but they need buffing - any suggestions as to what I should
use?
I'm contemplating the angry grinder with a sanding disc or the electric drill.
And before anyone suggests it "No" I don't fancy doing it this way! linky
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Pewe10

Your local 'better' quality tyre suppliers (not kwikfit and such) could have a tread cutter.

How about the WELDERMAN method then...

Buffing? If theyve been drifted surely buffed?
I thought buffing (or scrubbing) was done by racers to treaded tyres to take off the top surface and reduce the size of the tread blocks to reduce
lateral movement.

What's a tread cutter got to do with buffing the tyres???
I'm with Adi on this one, the Welderman method is the way forward  (not for buffing the tyres you understand, just cos it's pish funny
)
