Tyre shaving Brisbane.

Postby Red_Bullet » Sun Jul 14, 2019 11:32 am

Does anyone know if there is a tyre shaving(retrueing) service around Brisbane. After a few DTC days and sprints my REE003's are full of flat spots, although the tyres still have plenty of life in them. That'll teach me for running them at the track won't it on an NA with no ABS :cry: :evil:

A little research reveals:

I've found 2 places in Brisbane, Hornibrook motorsports, and Pete's tyre buffing. $15 per tyre at Pete's. Bargain. Saves throwing tyres away.

Hornibrook is northside of town so didn't get a price, Pete's is southside so suits me.

The key words in a google search is "tyre buffing"

Went down to Pete's Tyre buffing last night, saved two flat spotted tyres from the bin for a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended. Pete has been around motor sport all his life, primarily with HQ racing. But he does stuff for all sorts of track oriented cars.

Unfortunately, she wasn't there. I did ask.
