In the past six month or so I have become somewhat of a bad guy/cheater to a FEW in my local club because I use rubber tires and rub NSR oil on them, go figure. Well, in order to satisfy the powers that be in this club I have decided to go all urethane untreated tires for my cars. Being fairly new to urethanes I have a couple of questions. (1) I true my tires on a Tire Razor and use pretty much the sand paper that came with it. The couple of times I attempted to true urethanes this paper seemed to take the slick surface off of the tire and compromised the traction of the tire, so what grit and at what voltage do you suggest I true these tires? (2) I have heard that heat can dry out the urethane and ruin the traction, is this a major problem with these tires? This club runs on scaley sport track with somewhat of a grainy grey paint on it so would you suggest the 40 shore or the 20 shore tires. I plan on using nail polish to bond these tires to the rims as per what I have heard Mr. Gage recommend. Any and all help will be appreciated as I want to both do the correct things for these tires and stop the Alligator Tears at the monthly races.
