I have heard that some guys SHOO-GOO the vent holes in the wheels and use a X-acto knife to cut small holes in the tires to provide venting.
Does anyone know what the performance difference is??
Where is the cut made? (sidewall or tread surface)
How big and how many?
This seems strange to me since it should 'weaken' the tire and it would more easily rip when it hits a tube, scrapes the wall, spectators.
Or am I all wrong and they are just pin sized holes with the point of the knife?
Just some questions from a guy that does not know..
Sounds like a lot of trouble to re-invent the wheel....:confused:
Thanx
