How are motorcycle tires shaved?
« on: August 07, 2004, 02:45:21 PM »
What's the process, is some sort of cutting tool used to remove rubber?

I'm not planning on doing this, I'm just curious as to how things are done.

Yes, it is a rotary cutter (looks like a pizza cutter) applied to the tire at an angle to the direction of tire rotation.

I watched one being shaved when I went and picked mine up a few days ago.

It was saddening to see all that wonderful rubber coming off the tire without the fun associated with tearing it off in the twisties or in a burnout.
