Question People with NT-01s or similar soft tires

Are they a real bitch when it comes to leaving a mess on your quarter panels?

You will from get some from nice burn outs. A little rubber caking adds character.

I had a nice little mess of liquified rubber from my ET Street Radials... I didn't like it much.

I'm getting ready to buy NT-01s though... Just hoping rubber all over the fenders won't be a weekly routine every time I wash my car.

Re: People with NT-01s or similar soft tires

After throwing some Mickey Thompson ET streets on mine and doing a 50 second burnout at the track several times, I had a s*** load of rubber caked on my back quarter panel. I found the best way to remove it was to use WD 50 and a bunch of towel rags.

I did a killer burnout on my old Nitto DR's and it took a while to clean off as well, but not as much as the Mickey Thompson's did.

Don't do burn outs and you'll be ok.

There is also some stuff you can spray on prior to a race and it make the rubber come off easy, but WD works well. Also works on road tar.

But burnouts are so fun!

BTW this was the killer burnout I was reffering to.
