Title: Tires - Heat Gun or Grinding Wheel? Both? Post by: TQ97 on August 31, 2009, 09:10:52 PM What's the advantages or disadvantages? Obviously the heat gun cleans the tires off...but does it put another heat cycle in them as well? What about grinding? I saw that done at the indoor shows and then yesterday saw go karts use the grinder as well. Thoughts?

Post by: goffin20 on September 01, 2009, 10:05:46 AM I generally used a heat scraper to get off built up rubber and the grinder to scuff new tires. After they have been raced, the grinder seems to just smear the rubber around and I prefer to remove the built up rubber.
