Recommended Posts

Can someone help please.......

Racing graduate VX 1.6 this year on Avon CR322's

From new (8.5mm) how much should I be buffing off for max performance?

 

Also does any experienced driver know what sort of pressures these thing run

 

Many Thanks!!!

The principle of buffing is to do with heat generation and heat dispersal in the tread and possibly tread block distortion.

 

If the former, then on a colder day you will want more tread.

 

Time for Mister pyrometer I guess. Although it may well be that from 8.5mm you want to go to ~5mm. I can'r imagine that doing any harm.
