I have been doing some research about various thread materials with higher CoF's that could be used instead of the normal roughtop/wedgetop
(1.2-1.3). I found a few old discussions on this such as
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/ar...p/t-59943.html about BRECOflex as a potential tread supplier. I am not unduly concerned about the slow shipping since a large stock could be ordered pre-season. BRECOflex provides
this document which indicates that the CoF of the SuperGrip Green/Blue is 1.5 and the Linatex Red is 1.6. Have any teams used these before and what have your experiences with them been. We would be using these with 4/6'' AM Plaction/Performance Wheels. I am concerned how the backing in the
images appears to be ridged. Can these ridges be removed via belt sander or bandsaw in order to mount them on a AM wheel? Also, the Red Linatex does not appear to have the roughtop pattern as the Supergrip treads do. Would this (or some other pattern) need to be machined into the Linatex to take advantage of its higher CoF?
