I have just ordered some new tooling to produce an even better finish, as a precision engineer I am constantly wanting to optimise quality! The finish now is good but I believe I can achieve better and make sure the tyre has a surface finish as good as it was before it was cut.

Well i have got 888's on my track car atm. they are part worn, so in your proffessional opinions shaving would improve the life time and performance of them??

Sounds like an interesting idea! Just a quick heads up, there is a typo on the home page:

A new tyre that is worn down to 3mm tread depth will not preform as well as a tire shaved down to 3mm tread depth.

I'm assuming that you mean perform rather than preform?

Also, tyre is spelt tire on this line, instead of the english spelling - tyre.

I was at Donnington doing testing on the tyres last week with the help of Malcolm Edeson (Grade A ARDS with around 20 years of race driver instructing ) He rigged up one of the mx5 championship cars with all the data logging equipment and went out to prove what the benifits of shaving are. He his writing up a detailed report on his findings and I will put it up as soon as its done, the main thing he concluded with is that its worth about 1.5 seconds a lap!
