CSX3246 with shaved letter BFG's
The January 2014 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine did a nice article on CSX3246. Beautiful car!
In the article they talk about the tires: BFG's with shaved letters. Is that letter shaving a process that can be done at home with sandpaper/sanding discs or is it a professional shop process. If it's a home process, can anyone describe the process steps to me or direct me to a website. Or if its a professional shop process, anyone in the Los Angeles area. Cheers Greg |
BFG's are dangerous..........

You can shave letters with a 2" disc sanding pad and then to scotchbrite but as Jeff said don't bother with TA's.

I've used bfgta for a decade. They look great, wear great, inexpensive and I beat the sheet out of my 550hp plant. If I am going to track I will use a corvette with real brakes.

Thanks for your opinions on BFG's. Wasn't trying to start a discussion on the pros & cons of tire makes. But I wonder what tires were on those unfortunate Cobra owners cars we see who have wrecked their cars? Or is a drivers experience and good judgement as big a factor as equipment?
Anyway, just wanted to know how to remove tire lettering regardless of the tire make. Think I found a good article on the net. Cheers Greg |

7 years and 20+ thousand miles on mine with BFGs. Not exactly an ultra-perf tire but they are fine if you don't drive like an idiot. If you do it doesn't matter much what tire you have. |
Here's the link to the site which has tips on tire letter removal. Look at both pages for good info.
