Con-costs extra money

Pro-buy Falken's and you wont have to shave them and they will probably work better then the tires your shaving.

What is the purpose of tire shaving and what does this accomplish??? Is it legal at all tracks???

Really wondering here. I have heard of tire shaving in off-road, dirt track racing and tractor pulls but not so much in oval pavement stockcars.

ernie tire shaving is done on treaded tire for a number of reasons,,. one to get exact stagger 2- built in camber on the tire 3- some say it make the tire last longer. it is legal at most tracks out west.

I thought stagger and camber in a tire was what is was and it is up to the team to determine what tires go where? Shaving was something I thought was discouraged as one of those cost limiting deals but I guess tracks deal with that with their tire rules by limiting numbers purchased???
