| Vht...?
Has anyone ever thought of putting vht on the tires to make them tacky? I have a jug of it in my garage and was wondering if anyone has ever tried it?

I'm not sure what VHT is, but I would imagine if you coated the tires with something tacky, it would end up making all the dust stick to it, rendering the tackiness useless. Just my 5 grams of copper coated zinc... I have heard of people using something called "tire ragu"(I think that's what it is called) that you put on the tires and then bake them to soften the rubber up. |

Tacky is not really what you are looking for, it is not like racing. You want a "sticky" tire, but again not as in tacky, as in a high coefficient of friction. When you run your finger over the tire you want it to hold onto your finger without picking up dust when you run. |
