Resurfacing Burris tires

[fastbraden11]

What does it do?

At my track, you generally only need a PRW because it has a lot of bite already. It’s much easier to overprep than under. Does the simple green make the tire tacky?

Pulls the prep outta the tire,,if its diluted enough its not so bad

Then youll be on the right track,,we usually just set ours in the sun and let mother nature do her thing

Try it, Ken. I think you're being dogmatic about smooth tires being clean and courser finish tires being dirty on the track.
I've not seen that to be the case, at least with our tire finish.
I plateau finish all of our tires, just like I do an engine cylinder.
Our tires certainly aren't "dirty" while racing, and they're certainly out front.

Where ovaltech1 races, I'd probably skip the plateau process and leave them cut open @ 80g -- have you seen some of his pictures from race day?
I suspect that treads would be faster there!
Holy cow, they must have to drop coins in to make the water truck go.

Majors used to be very good there

Is major tire still making tires ?

Run them on a tire grinder and use a belt sander on the tire. 120 grit held at a 45* go left to right and then right to left and cross hatch them. Then I will run a coarse scotch brite pad over them. Probably wrong to some but it works for me. View attachment 6030

You hold the belt sander at a 45° angle

Mine spin between 350/400 rpm, spray with dawn soap and do 150 grit, spray with dawn soap do 220 grit
