Jeez you made it look a lot easier than when I tried it.
Great work, excellent video production. Thanks for a very informative post.

Great tech, Been wantin to give it a go. Thanks for the encouragement.

 

Awesome....looks so easy in the video.

 

Great Post. I think I know what I'm doing this weekend.

 

That's too cool! I've always heard that can be done, but never saw it in action before.

 

Gotta say, video certainly raises the bar. Now I just need to be fast like Superman and I can grind my own whitewalls.

 

and it's on the cheap...

great job!!! video is very cool for tech.....reading something is NOT the same as watching something....

 

Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us all. Mark

 

Thanks !

 

Yea I gotta say so far this gets my vote!

Hotrob

 

awesome!!!

 

Great tech. Thanks alot. I might have to give this a try...... Best Tech so far

 

Killer Post.

 

That Rocks!! I have been wanting to try it for a while, now I have to!!

 

Excellent, Jeff! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all the kind words. I really didn't expect this big a response. I didn't really think about it before you guys mentioned it, but you're right, this is my teacher side starting to show through once again.

About my grinding discs, I got them from the now defunct Machine Shop Supply that was a subsidiary of Lab Safety. I got a bunch through school when MSS went under. I think they are now sold by Rotozip, but I'm not 100% sure. Either way, a flexable disk without a backing pad works tons better than a stone disc does.

I haven't really noticed a width/brand pattern yet. It's pretty inconsistant. I believe a RWL will be wider than a narrow WW, but again it varys. Even within the brands, different style tires are wider than others. I did notice however that Coopers seem to have the smoothest outer edge. The last set of Goodyears I did were pretty wavy. Since I'm perpetually on a budget, I always use new used junk yard take off tires. They range from $10-$15 a tire around here.

Haring, I was very very close to putting the Benny Hill music in the background. It's hard to use speeded up footage without it(course I didn't speed anything up, I really am just that good... )

Tingler, yes, my real name really is Jeff Tanko

Tok, you need to start with a thicker chunk of rubber...

 

Awesome.

 

Dude, that is awsome! Thanks for sharin the vid. I had heard that was
possible, but I didn't know all white walls were like that.
Cool-a-mundo!!!

 

Real good video!

I might add from experience that General XP2000 RWL-tires are unsuitable for grinding a white wall on them.
The outer line is very irregular and I also noticed a 'starting line' in the white parts.

 

Much appreciated post. Thanks.

 

I am amazed at your skills, thanks bugman, I hope others follow your example and show us other neat tricks!

 

A+ Tech!!!

Well done Video too! Kudos bro!

 

Dunlop Rover ATs work pretty good, The only thing I did different was I left them on the wheel. It made the sidewall more stable and I felt, less likely to gouge the white.

 

Fantastic, I can't wait to grind up a couple of scrub tires for practice.

Thanks!

 

Cool, Jeff...I'm gonna tackle the skinny whites on my Rambler, now that I know the trick.
Hey, you oughta be a teacher! Bahahahah...

 

great post!!

 

Very cool tech........I can smell the burnt rubber......I also thought of Benny Hill chasing the front sump shaking gals around when you sped up the video.

4t64rd, I've tried it both mounted and unmounted. I found that with the tire unmounted it was easier to get down near the bead, but like you said, the sidewall was softer and gouges easier. I still prefer unmounted though, but it's just my personal preferance.

Another tip I didn't mention, try to keep the grinder as flat as you can. The steeper the angle, the easier it is to gouge the WW.
