What grade paper did you use?

i use a trick that my dad told me about. back in the 60's and 70's when he drag raced and the only tires available were bias plies, he used to rough the tire up with any course sandpaper and a sanding block. this got the shine off and was equivalent to riding for a few miles. worked for him and i tried it and it seemed to work for me.

you guys dont need to use sand paper, use some steel wool and hot water and hit up the tires surface and you'll have instant traction. All the guys out here use steal wool not sand paper!
