I appreciate the ideas of how to get the tire to create bite, but that's not the issue here. The issue is that the tire gets sticky after a lap or two and it causes the grooves to stick together. When this happens we just slip and slide because we lose our edges. I like the bleach and methanol, it's along the same lines as I was thinking already. Currently we cure the tires for a couple years before we run them, just trying to speed that process up a bit.
