So I'm set on running OSCA 11.90 next year. Some of you know my car and the F.A.S.T racing series. The car consistently runs 12.20's on an OEM Firestone F60 bias-ply tire. When a set is super worn down (slick like) it'll run 11.90-12.0 all day. However, I dont have a set that are that worn down anymore. I was originally thinking to get a set cut down (from a stock car tire guy) but was also informed about tire softeners. I found a product online called Pro Bite and Hot Lap. The salesman told me to mix them 50/50 and apply (race week) 3 coats on monday, 3 on tuesday, and 2 on thursday. He said the car will pick up tons of "bite" off the line and through powershifts. $40 worth will coat 4 tires. Havent looked into the cost of cutting a tire down though.
Anyone else ever had luck with tire softeners?
Thoughts?
