Default 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.
