Treaded Tire Resurfacing

[Jared4223]

We run treaded Hoosier tires. How frequently should we be resurfacing these tires? I see a lot of people doing it before every run, but not certain that is gaining anything other than wearing out the tire faster.

As often as needed to remove dead rubber from the surface and just as important, potentially even more, is to create straight edges on the tread grooves. That's one of the biggest advantages to surfacing treads.

If you are not prepping - do it every time they hit the track.
If you are prepping - do it once a week if they've been heat cycled.
