This is How Tires are Prepared for Dirt Racing

[@drewpierce2273]

I've seen this tire set up before, but Austin's was more clearly explained and demonstrated. Go left, baby! 👍 🏁

[@joepozzini530]

That kid's got it made! Not just a job, but get to hang out with you Kenny. Imagine the knowledge he's absorbing. Awesome kid.

[@rickyrickyrule6451]

Awesome sauce ❤ Herman and Austin show ❤

[@robertmarino2158]

Austin did a great job explaining the tires ! Congratulations well done ! Stay safe ! " Let's go racing "

[@Nunyabidness20]

Said Kenseth, thumbs up!

[@jamesm4603]

Kenny, it has gotten a lot more technical than it was in the early 1970s. I remember when Firestone came along great traction but 1 or 2 race durability ; but if you wanted to win you had to have them!

[@kevinbarrett5001]

Austin did a hell of a job explaining the tires! Got a great crew going on Kenny. Y'all go get um Hermanator!!! 🏁🏁🏁

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@fredroberts6778]

KENNY i had NO IDEA how much was involved in just getting a set of tire ready to race, Great explanation.

[@andypressley4702]

I done my dad's tires when he was raceing took some time 😆 Kenny you are the man

[@chriswolcott8882]

So enjoy your enthusiasm and fun nature I do all the tire prepping for 3 races cars it is a lot of work but I enjoy seeing the results on the track

[@JamesSmith-wm7bq]

Great job Austin good luck Kenny in florida good bunch of guys

[@donlivingston2461]

I like the welding screens protecting your tire threading Mach now that's ingenuity Love it keep up the good work kenny

[@buffystclair9042]

Asphalt guys do the same. Buy a new tire, about 12/32” of tread then get someone to shave the tread of to a few /32’s of an inch to create a more of a slick.

[@nickpoe3451]

Outstanding

[@bradnerling7156]

I wish you raced up near Wisconsin. I would help you all the time. You are are a blast to watch. Always been a huge fan of yours. Thank you for sharing your life experience in racing.

[@jimstegall2589]

Wow , great info From Austin . The cup on the table example how simple that was ! Kenny keep that young man 👍

[@RiverBanks38]

I really didn’t quite know what stagger meant! The cup put it right there! Awesome explanation Austin!

[@dennisgramz7927]

Don’t forget your safety glasses!

[@trickster6831]

Great content there Kenny and Austin!!!👍👍 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@catmanrescue1]

Awesome !

[@waynekimball6503]

Great team herman!

[@kyle9211]

Thanks for sharing!

[@brianbeard3141]

Out here in Montana we swipe our road tires in the winter for icy conditions. With that many tires would it be a good idea to get a siping machine? You can set distance across the tread as well as the depth of cut.

[@paullodge4310]

Yep. Go fast, turn left !

[@larryburwell8550]

Well grooving and tire stagger is the key to short tracks on dirt. Dick trickle told me when he drove for bud Moore and Greg moore that stagger was key in short tracks. On asphalt stagger is key. When trickle drove for bud he was a setup guru on short tracks. He didn't win 1000 plus short tracks k owing little. Nice driver and your friend. I hate his death..he was a friend

[@rogerkummerer775]

I would love to see you in a N.E. Modified just once!

[@ronnieking1025]

Thanks Kenny and Austin Great Video

[@jerrygodin3021]

Just watched your tire video what would be an average in the stagger of the rear tires? Never knew this thanks Kenny & Austin

[@allendodson9881]

Just Awesome Austin, Go Get 'em Kenny

[@youdropwemop8854]

I just wanna say Kenny's channel is 110% the best thing on youtube.

[@KennyWallace36]

[@stevekissel605]

We spray them with simple green then wrap them in plastic. U know to keep them clean. Haha. Great video 👍👍

[@margar1983]

Kenny's enthusiasm is great.

[@marnettaaubuchon7455]

Good luck from Paul and I. Austin is awesome

[@SJKLR99]

The extra rubber from tires...Kenny's Hockey puck co. Vulcanized!

[@DC322]

Never knew how much preparation goes to these tires for race day. Making the car go faster and slide smoothly on the corners.

[@donlivingston2461]

Enjoyed Austin's tire tips with Uncle Kenny lol

[@markwitkowski6418]

Hey Austin,do you drive racecars?Kenny has got to be a great boss,teacher,friend and jokester.A job when you lay down at night,you think,damn,I love my job.Glad for you.Is Red going to Florida,with you guys.Nice job explaining your dirt tire preperation.

[@MacMcClelland5230]

[@judywallace4567]

I, just learned something. Thank you.

[@ClarkBoyzRacing]

[@MLMWarriors]

#AustinTireTips Need to timestamp this video 0:45 groove iron 1:45 scoff grind 3:33 Red 3:50 sipe 5:15 measure 5:54 the glass

[@KennyWallace36]

thx!

[@sarahbecker1267]

Those tittles on the tires is the rubber being pulled up into the mold vents during cure cycle.

[@LTV_inc]

It actually during the fill cycle of the mold and they are there to let air out so there’s no voids or unfilled areas, it’s called a bleed. All rubber on elastomeric tooling has them. Rubber actually shrinks during cure or cross linking. If you really want to know how something is made…..ask an Engineer!…..😎

[@brucelowell7506]

Cool VERY INTERESTING.I GUESS THERES NO BUDLIGHT,OH SHRADER IS NOT THERE!

[@Dirtmodmaniac]

Our American racer tires are up to 225 each up from 198 last season! Supply is limited again I’m being told. 🤷‍♂️

[@timrobertson299]

You attract the best Kenny!

[@jeremiahreed4618]

Hard work pays off Kenny..

[@DJ-yp4kc]

Great explanation Guys...Does that mean an Open Diff in the Rear? Great your looking after the Trailer as well A++

[@johnclancy7607]

What about the soaking part? 😂

[@charleslong8634]

Then are open groove tires Kenney do you race canalevil tires or what ever you call them we used to dirt track race trace used open groove tires and when it got to the Maines you would use a closed Grove tires can't spell it called canalevil tires?

[@davidking3814]

So how much MEK do you put inside the tire?

[@biglon62]

I wish I had a $100 bucks for every tire I have grooved for myself and when I helped Mike Boland! Kenny wish y’all luck be safe!

[@puttrs]

Thanks for sharing, you have the best tire prep machine but you don't use it to rotate the tire while you're grinding, any reason for that?

[@brucelowell7506]

So do you buy them for right and left side?

[@jw-zl3zp]

Go cash some Checks!!!

[@MLMWarriors]

How did Austin do in AZ?

[@donhickman9345]

You forgot the tire prep! Lol

[@oldmountainmarineandmetals9736]

Alright buddy, fly me back and forth from Statesville airport each day and I'll work for free

[@peterfarrell9187]

does every racer do this to their tires? What is the difference of lap time.

[@rodneyclay9931]

Why don’t they just make the tires the way you need them in the first place? Damn, for $150 each you should be able to get what you want.

[@jesushadenough3427]

Nascar would sure ask why he's altering the tires.

[@bobstanton8378]

Where do you buy tires for 150$

[@DaleTerry]

Do you run reverse stagger at any if your tracks you go to???

[@donnierittenberry5515]

Right tires and tire pressure is a big thing

[@wolliswolff2078]

How about prefabricated tires like that? I used similar tires on my rally car as your finished product so beg Hollister to produce those like the old Michelin 100+ tires had. Go Left Right 😁

[@KennyWallace36]

haha

[@mmatejka01]

Handling One on One.......LOL

[@stevenknipe1624]

Hey Austin, Don't forget your safety glasses.

[@markgrimley9004]

❤️👍🏼

[@vicparker8660]

Next years driver for the 36

[@DanUpdegraff]

No need to balance the tires?

[@pittsky]

Quick way to make scuffs. :)

[@ZekenStreak]

Now this maybe a silly question but after the 4 steps are the wheel assemblies balanced? And if so how? I would imagine folks wouldn’t want those lead weights used on street rims flying off during a race. Thanks for the Austin Tire Tips!! That man sure knows how to get rid of them tits. 😆 cheers from BC

[@charleslong8634]

Kenny do they still check the tires cause they did it up at Boone speedway a few times or big races sprint cars Austin should have said so we can cheet lol roflmao I can see you pulling into the pits they probley strip surch you guys lol

[@jesushadenough3427]

Poor racers sipe and groove used tires just to put some tread back in them. Maybe even use some tire dope on them to restore the softness like original.

[@jonathanmaxey9551]

RIP Filbert.

[@Team90j97]

Grind be for you cut. That way you don't grind off the fresh edges.

[@mylespine7731]

JAKE BRAKE AAHHGGAGAGAGAGAGAG

[@brandonspeck953]

Such bull shit. It's killing the sport. Meaning the tire price. I've heard at big shows there only allowing you to buy two tires per team per day. I run a hobby stock an they have recently made us go to Hoosier racing tires. When we used to run street tires we were running the Cooper cobras same price but they last a lot longer then we have to buy racing tires now and they only last maybe two races if you're lucky. An everyone is on back order

[@hook4art257]

You need safety glasses

[@jamesmartin3914]

education doesn't come cheap

[@johnwiggins1385]

Your scuffing the tire.

[@KennyWallace36]

…

[@user-ot6nw2nn1n]

So when do you dope to tire skinny?Put the tiger claw , the grip on them
