Midland Tyre Shaving is almost here!

I didn't find it that difficult to read tbh but i would agree its maybe not the best font to use - most use simple fonts as it is easier to read so you focus on content as opposed to the font etc which can distract from what you are selling. As can typos
At the end of the day the product will speak for itself though. Looks like yours is gonna be a place to offer repeatable setups.

Nice venture though and all the very best with it!

Yeah I agree on everybody's taste not being the same, try doing a poll on it? see what other people think as well.

I wish you the best of luck tho mate!

Ive done testing on the machine today on a customers 13" x 10" slick that races F2 stock cars, and all went perfect! The machine took a 5mm cut straight across the tyre in around 40 seconds, the finish exceeded my expectations, I will try and upload a video and some pictures soon, but as above I am now open for business :-)

Sorry to seem slow... but i just dont get how taking 3mm off a tyre will make it last longer - as you are taking tread off the tryes arent you?? 

[Diamond Hell]

Depends how you're using the tyre.

Shaving down on something like a T1-R would make it perform far better on track and probably 'temper' the rubber so it wouldn't roll off in huge sausages when the tyre got hot out on track,

[VeeDubGTI16v]

it does the opposite of tempering them lol

[Diamond Hell]

Uh huh.  Explain then, share with us numpties instead of just being an arrogant pr1ck, or would that be stretching your skilz too far?

[VeeDubGTI16v]

well tempering is a heat treatment. wearing a tyre down with use puts multiple heat cycles through it and the performance deteriorates, shaving tyres avoids this and you have a fresh tyre with reduced tread depth.

the reduced tread depth then moves less and generates less heat in use so yeah quite the opposite

As he says ^^^ 

Heres the first pictures of the quality of the surface finish on a MX5 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO -
