better touring car tires
when you are get a new set of tire of on road 1/10th touring car they will have a glossy shine on the tire and that will make you have less grip on the track to take of that shine you get a small file to rub off the glossy shine after you have filed the tire the should be no more gloss shine if there still is file is again.

Not a good idea. The shine is just superficial and goes away after just a few laps (which it takes anyway to warm up the tires if you don't have a tire warmer). I think you can do more damage than good with your idea.

I dont sand mine either, what I do is set the car down on the trck and hold the tail as I give it some throttle. 4 wheel burn out for a sec or so and then let go. Does the trick just fine.

I take mine out for a few gentle laps to take the shine off of them, works for me :)
Don't go racing round the track, use the time with new tyres as a feeler for the track and learning where the sharper corners are so when they are up to pace, you will have remembered where the braking areas are. |
The shiny surface disappears quickly, but the blurr in the center of the tire doesn't. I always remove it, even for practice tires.

Yep, It is a good idea to remove the mold seam from the tires. It helps make traction more consistent.
