Pure Stock drag racers do it to their Polyglas tires if they don't have time to wear down a set and a race is coming up soon. Local circle burners have the equipment set up to do it.
Pure Stock is allowed to shave their tires?
It happens. Gotta keep them above the wear bars though.
Reproduction tires or radial tires only. No soft compound tires of any kind allowed. Retread tires are not allowed. Use of traction compounds or rubber-softening chemicals on tires is strictly prohibited. Suspicious tires will be durometered. You are allowed to run tires one size over stock, with G70s being the largest size allowed for cars with 70-series tires, and G60s the largest allowed for cars that came with 60-series tires. All four tires must be the same size. No 60-series tires will be allowed unless they were originally available for the car's year and model. 60-series tires must be run on 15-inch rims as they were originally. Cars built before the introduction of 70-series Polyglas or Wide Ovals are allowed to upgrade to 70-series of appropriate size.https://www.psmcdr.com/rulesRalph's rules may be slightly different, but I'll bet not a whole bunch.
