I think most people just throw them in the garbage, they just dont work as good as the other tires on the market now.

soak em in simple green and warm water. I cut little relief cuts in the center treads and on the side lugs as well. they are not a throw away tire, ( if you are throwing them away, give them to me ) of course they are not a comp tire at all, but they do crawl for fun. |

I tried soaking mine and cutting them and they just didnt work for me. I used them from practice but then the rig was so different with better tires in the comp it messed me up. Now a I have a set of hammers I beat on then save a good set for comps.

| I did the same thing......One trick with lizzards is they also work better with slow wheel speed as in no smoke shows.
