We ran Hoosier R6 at 32 psi in the front and 30 psi in the back at the AAS AutoX. When we took them off the other day we found alot of extra rubber chunks from the track stuck to the tire. We are concerned that the tires were overheated. We had run them before this and heat cycled them. Any input would be appreciated. 3 of the tires seems too bumpy to race with them.

HELP!!!!

Sounds like OPR, other people's rubber. A R compound when operating even at normal temps will pick this up driving back to the paddock from the course or grid. If the event was at a track, you will get a ton of it. I always scrap this stuff off before I put the tires back on the trailer. Once they cool, its much harder to pull it off.

So I take it the tire is fine and I just need to burn the junk off??

Bump....

Burn meaning spin tires, sure. With actual fire, no as that would not be good for the actual tire compound.

Thanks!
