yep, it's a liquid you 'paint' onto the tyres 48 hours prior to using then wrap them in plastic while it cures/soaks in.
It's meant to soften old tyres that have gone hard and give them more grip.
search it on e-bay, it's about $30 a bottle.
Wha? Is this some magical sticky paste you paint on dead tyres to ring one more track day out of them? Or just a 'grip additive' meant for tyres with life in them?
Oh, and volunteering to help finish the Kumhos Greg, i was restraining myself a little last time...
Asimovy, PM sent. Brendan, yep same details. Rob5000, shame to hear you'll have to miss it but hope your mate's op goes well and we'll hopefully see you at the next one early next year (Feb/Mar).

hrmm. i could do that with the front v70A's. they have become slicks now lol
I think I might look into that stuff too. I bought my tyres about 3 years ago 2nd hand, and they've only been used in anger a couple of times (less if you count the almost half the weight vehicle they're now on)
Sounds like octopus grip all around then
Garth.... you're welcome to a go, but you are limited to less laps in anger at a time, 'cause if you boil my brake fluid early in the day I'll be very upset![]()
Octopus grip hey.....you guys keen for a group buy on fuel magnets too?
My KE25 thread
WSID - 12.8@108mph || Wakefield Park - 1:11.4 || SDMA Hillclimb - 49.1
only if it comes with a free powerchip.
Greg, no extra brakes yet?Nah i couldn't do that to you again. I'll happily have another drive, i just mean i'll try not to destroy your brake fluid!
And boys, i'll pass on the mumbojumbo; with my Polariser on board i don't need any of that stuff.

I was worried about being embarrassed by all these turbo cars so installed these for an extra 35rwkw [apparently]...
Gonna get owned now Vito.

how about an intake made up entirely from a series of hiclones
but with the Occy grip... $30 to perhaps bring life back into already dead rubber... why the hell not?
Used stuff like that on go-kart tyres before (not illegal at all.....)
The stuff that I had was very old, but worked quite well, definitely got another race meeting out of them.

Oh hey Bardin, so you don't need those old tyres after all? That's kinda good, because i finally got new tyres yesterday and forgot to ask the shop to give me back the old ones...
