The technique you mention is known as tire shaving. There is only one place that I know of that does this, Tire Rack. This is not only a rare technique, but the machines are also rare and it requires a skill that very few have.
Q: Back in the 1970s, I was working as a mechanic for a while. The shop I worked for had a tire truing machine that would rotate the tire while the blades would remove tread slowly until the tire had regained its round shape. Fast forward 50 years, and I, like many others with all-wheel drive, acquired a puncture in a location that could not be repaired, which required the purchase of a new tire.
Q: I have a 2007 Ford F-150 with a 5.4-liter engine that just turned 200,000 miles. It runs great. I am thinking of purchasing a superchips tuner with the idea of enhancing the performance a little more. I would like to know your thoughts on the subject of these tuners and if positive, do you have any recommendations?A: Make sure the performance chip doesn’t void the vehicle’s warranty.
Q: I am surprised that you did not comment about the person who disconnected his positive battery cable to remove power. You never do the positive unless you have removed the negative cable first for safety reasons.A: Good point. I was focused on answering the reader’s larger question when they stated that disconnecting the battery temporarily resolved their problem. Always, yes always, disconnect the negative cable first and reconnect it last. Why? Sparks.
Q: About three weeks ago, we had the no-cost-to-us anti-theft device installed on our vehicle. A few days after we had it installed, we received a notice regarding what appears to be a class action lawsuit.
