I recently ran at willowsprings and after the day I seem to have picked up a tonne of rubber, as well as melted some tread, but its not even. How do i get the tires back to normal? These are street tires, Kumo somethings. Thanks!

This is definitely the first time I've heard anyone ask this question...that's good race rubber you've got on there; you've improved your street tires!

It'll come off after driving a while, or you can usually peel it off if you really want to...or you could burnouts till it's nice and even

Hey VW Miker, Welcome to LWR (the Land of Wasted Rubber.) I am quite certain your tires will look "normal" after driving them for 1,000 Miles on the streets. Not the "Streets of Willow", but normal street driving. All street tires should shed off these melted rubber chunks in 500 - 1,000 Miles of ordinary driving. WELCOME AGAIN TO LWR, WE HOPE TO SEE YOU BACK SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!
