Hi Hope you don't mind me asking a question.
Do most clubs allow regrooving? As my club dosen't and only allow rally tyres on the front for m khana and k cross.
Could you give a few tips on the regrooving and re edging of older tyres?
Thanks

You can use a Drill for with a grinding stone ( Clogs easily) or a Die grinder bit to open up the "thumb" grooves on a "35" Yokohama or a Bridgestone.

Edges can be squared up using an angle grinder ( I normally square up the tyre with a Die grinder and bit.. And only use them on the rear.) Where the lack of edge doesnt hurt as much.

A Propper tyre groover has issues "Edging" the tyre as the half of the wire not cutting the tyre overheats and stuffs itself. You have to use a lower temp and cut slower.

You can also use an angle grinder.....Yeah, Like no one else has!

Just dont cut the tyre cords. Yokohamas use a Different Rubber for the core and the tread so It is easy to figure out where to stop. Bridgestone Thumb grooves are higher than the surrounding tyre so cut to that level.

Dunlops and Silverstones...Me never tried...

Ill post some pictures to explain.........................

The tyres I have at the moment are Kumho , Silverstone's and Dunlop's.
I have not yet raced on rally tyres. I have just bought another car and these tyres came with it.
Three sets are rears, one front, but I think he was running the car with the Kumho rears on the front.( and both are right hand tyres)
What difference does it make running fronts or rears on the front?
I have seen other people using rears on the front.
What difference will it make running a tyre on the wrong side. Is it mostly important in the wet or all the time?

Thanks Col
