DohNut Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Tyre soft or Hot lap or any other spray this on your tyre and it will become dead grippy type products. Does anyone know if they work - are they likely to re-jouventate some very old Yokohama 008R's I know I need to get new tyres but the management does not agree about the priority of this purchase.

Jason Plato Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 They do work if applied properly but people report they only last for about 2 laps . They also contain some horrible chemicals and should be handled with great care . They are illegal to use in sprints AFAIK , but often used in karting - allegedly .

Paul Turner Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 It used to be the norm to use it in the early 90's in sprints, put it on at least 2 days before and let them cure. Don't honestly know if it made any time improvement, if it did it was minimal. One guy applied it in the paddock once and promply fell of the track, the tyres were like driving on ice until the stuff had cured. I once used it to restore a knackered set of Hoosiers and it really did work. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
