Because they are hard ...does not mean they won't hook. I would try them first ... then maybe try something then .... before you go through that expense.

They DO offer something (never tried it me-self) ... try a search ... tire treatment racing.

G' day DOC

i think these are so hard that they will skate across the road . who knows though . i can get tyre softener for $50 for a small tin but i am thinking they are too far gone .... i know lanolin ( from sheep's wool ) is very good for leather, rubber, & wood ect ect . i was wondering about putting it on the inside of the tyre ? just a wild stab in the dark.

well i installed my msd 6al last night and widened the spark plug gaps to .035 th ( they were .032 because i had ignition & weak spark problems ) well iam off soon to test drive the val & see if shes going any better cya mate...
