The traction I lose on course is less painful than what I'd lose at home if I dropped another $450 on new rubber right now. So, the $36 for tire treatment doesn't seem like such a bad compromise! Know what I mean? :wink:

Phil,

Given my state of (un)employment, I completely understand!!! I was trying to reinforce the idea that using traction treatment on old tires should be no problem!

By the way, I doubt that anyone would object to using traction compound to try to rejuvenate old tires in any class.

I've never tried the stuff.

That exactly what we did to try and bring the old tires back to life. And it DID work. They were not as good a new, but much better than before the treatment.

Buying new tires at seasons end wasn't an option, so the Formula Vee seemed to be the best solution (pun intended) to the problem.

However, all of the tires out there (Hoosier and V710 have a couple of grooves that are at least 2/32nds.

I didn't realize that the grooves where that deep (Tire Rack shows 4/32 new for the older Hoosiers). Practically rain tires
