My Z was spinning the tires on the dyno (673SAE RWHP and 720SAE RWTQ), we sprayed on a little VHT and no more spin. Have not used it on the tracks.

I have tried formula V tire treatment on my stock MPSS from my C7Z that had started to feel very slick until they really heated up, it definitely restored at least the level of grip of a new MPSS and maybe a little bit more, it didn’t make the tire just grip like crazy. I also treated a set of MPSS I will be using at the track next weekend and can report back. The tires look and feel great now. I thought at 5/32 I would already need new tires but it has totally restored the suppleness of the rubber like a new tire has.

treating 6 tires used less than half a gallon so only cost me $20 so far.
