This week in Session #5 of Venom Juice "Tip Tuesday" we would like to discuss Tyre maintenance, and cleaning. Cleaning your tyres and keeping them wearing even will get more life and better performance.
Tyre Cleaning is a very important of keeping your tyres on the razors edge of performance. We suggest cleaning tyres with Track Tac Tyre wash w/drt and water after each session on-track.
Scrubbing the tyres with a scrub-sponge and removing all dirt and debris that has filled the tyres pores.
Dry tyre with a clean towel, until completely dry.
When tyres are not cleaned properly and still have dirt down inside the tyre prohibits the future preparation and may cause the tyre to not perform up to max capabilities.
Tyres are very much like your skin, the pores in the rubber/tyre will fill up with dirt and the we usually add a stimulant, that cannot penetrate due to tyre not being clean.
Most of us take a bath daily, your tyres deserve the same treatment after being dirty.
Flipping tyres on the wheel (changing rotation) is a very good tool to add to the tyre maintenance of your racing program.
Over the years, with the karts using and abusing the RF/LR more than ever makes this process a must. Most tyres will act the same, but there is some instances that the tyre and tyre sidewall may act different.
We usually suggest flipping our tyres every 30-40 laps depending on the tyre/track surface. We suggest not letting the tyre alter shape by wear (Reduction of corner). Rotating the tyre on the wheel insures you to get the "Bang for your Buck$$$" deserved and keeping tyre uniform.
We also keep our tyres resurfaced weekly, We feel this removes the prep fuzz, and keeps the tyre with a fresh contact patch. Resurfacing tyres will keep the stimulant/prep applied going deeper and utilizing it as intended.
Wash after resurfacing, to remove rubber dust and clean out the pores.
As stated before, if these tips help and assist one racer, we have done what is intended,a Venom Juice / KBRD Customer or not. All of these tips are through my eyes only and we hope it helps.
In closing, many of the chassis companies are setting their eyes on the 2015 racing season. I have had a chance to watch and check-out many of these chassis and their performances on-track. With that said, If you are in search of a chassis, go with a chassis company with a broad range of depth and knowledge of all kart tracks in the country. Some of the chassis may cost less and some may cost more, but at the end of the day its all about winning and results no matter the cost, not just putting a product on the market, just too sell something.
Thank You for the overwhelming support over the past month.
and we look forward to the next several weeks of racing.
Thank You,
