Gudzy Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I've been given some yokohama tyres that a friend has used on track during the summer to go on my new 19" wheels, but it looks like a couple of them have got quite hot and picked up a lot of rubber. I can pick it off with my hands with a bit of effort, but should I just throw these away or should they be ok, I don't really have any experience with tyres that have been tracked. He seems to think they'll be fine and it'll fall off after running them a bit but I'm not so sure. They've still all got about 6mm of tread left so it seems a waste if they are fine underneath, but obviously don't want anything unsafe on and I'll just get a new set of falken/ vreds if not. Some pictures of the worst one can be found here, I can get some more if needs be: http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c316/Gudzy/Tyres/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Look fine to me. The extra rubber will wear off with use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
