Okey best way to do this? My RA 1's picked up a lot of track rubber and i need to get it off the tires. Whats the best way to do that.

Smokey burnout?

Wire brush?

 

Lots of autocrossers use this type of thingie...but, if it's just rubber "klag" and you aren't in a situation where you have to go out and run as fast as possible, immediately, I'd just drive it off.

I scrape the big blobs off with a scraper...the rest comes off in 2-300 miles.

 

I'm having the same problem with the wheels. Won't come off with a scrub brush.
Next time I will use an old credit card.

Brake cleaner helps alot, but you have to be quick.

Anyone else have ideas or use something different?

 

blow torch, paint scraper. IN MODERATION.

I will use my Mrs credit card. Thanks.

 

thanks guys --guess i just need to put them on the car and run them for a little while--reason i was asking is i think my track wheels/tires may need rebalancing before ROEBLING

Or, go to your nearest Tack shop (Horses) and get a Metal Curry Comb and save about $25...

I use this, http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...100&lpage=none, and a putty knife....

 

For smokin' rock?

 

Method 1
Go to an empty parking lot, turn the wheel fully to one side and take a few spins (not fast), then do the other direction

swap front & rear tires, then repeat

knocks it right off


Method 2
Drive faster :P

 

How about bringing an Oven Mit and just wiping off the tires by had after a hot session or after the last lap of the day?

Those Auto Xer's wash their tires after every run!
