I hear this one all the time.
Most of us are racing hornet's where the tires are very limited, or, we are running Mini Stocks, where we have a class tire, therefore VERY limited.
Here's a standard reply I give... STRETCH YOUR TIRES! 1" of growth will equil about 200 or so RPM's, getting you down the strait a bit longer before hitting that damn rev limiter.
1) Take them off the car
2) Air them up to well over 50 psi. I get as close to 60 as I dare. Please, do not do this to old, warn out tires.
3) Put them into a black plastic garbage bag, or leaf bag.
4) Bake them in the sun for a few days. The longer, the better.
5) Reduce the air pressures back to normal.
6) ENJOY!
