MAKE A TIRE TUB
MAY 2008 // Issue #150

Having clean meat to rip up the terra firma is important to your off-road vehicle, and a clean on-road tire is key for good traction on tarmac as well. The only good way to clean your wheels is with soap and water, and that can get messy. Sometimes finding a place at the track to clean your wheels can be a problem as well. Fear not my friends, because here is the answer to all of those issues. In just a few minutes you can have a sweet portable tire cleaning station for only a few dollars. Before we move on, let me explain why a clean tire is important. In off-road the tread pattern gets pack up with dirt and minimizes the penetration of the knobby into the ground, and you lose the traction you need to perform well. In on-road, your tire picks up oils and surface debris which cause your car to get loose and not have optimal traction. Sure, every time you go out the tires will pack up with junk, but why start out that way? You want the best traction for as long as you can get it, right? Besides, you want your pride and joy to look its best when you go out in front of your friends, don't you?
