The previous owner went drifting hence the spare tyres have shouldered quite badly.
Since I intend doing a mixed surface Autosolo soon I reckon I'll use those tyres but they need buffing - any suggestions as to what I should use?
I'm contemplating the angry grinder with a sanding disc or the electric drill.
And before anyone suggests it "No" I don't fancy doing it this way! linky
Thanks in advance.

Your local 'better' quality tyre suppliers (not kwikfit and such) could have a tread cutter.

Buffing? If theyve been drifted surely buffed?

I thought buffing (or scrubbing) was done by racers to treaded tyres to take off the top surface and reduce the size of the tread blocks to reduce lateral movement.

think id rather have the track mileage and let them buff on the go

i use a electric planer doesnt get them hot like a angle grinder, you can put desired camber on very easy
