Default GRIP Tyre Softner?

Anyone ever used it? Any good? How long does one application last?

you mean the stuff to improve grip? i have heard of people applying it overnight and wrapping tyres in clingfilm to hold it in, then next day tyres are ready for racing ( never heard of it for road applications though )

supposed to be good

oh and not sure how long it lasts

I would imagine on road tyres it would half the life expectancy at least

My mate bought some stuff like that from Autosport a couple of years ago - to use on his 2 stroke Kart. (came in a yellow bottle - if thats the same stuff).

Admittedly he used on some cheap crappy tyres - but they fell to bits in one race!!

They usually last for 10

Wasnt much grippier either.

Good for rejuvenating very old track tyres that are well past their prime - stinks like crazy for a week or so.
