Tire Shaving (If that's even what it's called)

They should drive out with a few miles. And realistically if you flat spotted them so bad that they dont, then shaving probably wouldn't work anyways.
?!?!?! im with daturbosix! why would you pay someone to take rubber off your tires?
i thought this was going to be a tire groove thread about making mud tires more aggressive... not taking rubber off street tires! if the tires are unbearable to drive with flat spots, what do you have to lose from doing burnouts??? SMOKE EM OFF!

Didn't mean to come off as a dick here ^^^ but that would have been my first thought vs paying someone to destroy your tires.
Bunch of comedians in here.....guess I should have expected it though. It's TCG afterall.:wiggle:
They are the wheels/tires that are on my 1990 Mark VII, so I would prefer to not do a huge burnout with that car....only has 25k miles on it...its more a garage queen than a bitch. If the wheels would fit over the calipers of the Cobra, this problem would have been solved loooong ago.
Yeah, that is the plan going forward...that or a set of shitty wheels with bald tires if I can scare up a set that fits for a couple hundred.
In short, the tires are brand new (maybe 25 miles on them)...can still see the little colored stripes all the way around. That said, I do not drive the car very often (few hundred miles a year to keep it moving), so taking a few 32nds off a set of tires with a ton of tread that I will never go through is not really that big of a deal if it will fix the flat spots.
Sooooooo. Now that all the joksters have had their piece
....anywhere that provides this service? As a few mentioned, I will try to hear them up and drive a bit once the weather warms up. I tried that last fall, but it was already pretty cold out, so I doubt that the rubber temps got anywhere near high enough to help work out flat sopts. Assuming all of this does not work, does anyone know of a place that does this?
