come on tell me... or noone knows what it is?
shaving tires is exactly what it sounds like its uniformly removing tread
this makes them lighter and more consistant for cornering (less tread to squirm around on)
heat cycling is a controlled breakin process so the tire will have a consistant compound and should stick better and last longer

heat cycling is for competition tires

When I used to race gokarts we would do this! It helps get old rubber of that ends up making the tires not grip as well! We took a heat gun and mounted the paint scrapper at the end it would heat the tire and than remove the top coat of the tire! It kind of looked like we had new tires everyweekend! Dont forget to soak them in traction compound! :fuckyou2:
