I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

Perfectly safe. Formula one cars have slicks so they handle better. Any bits of wire poking out help grip too. My mate down the pub told me this

So the bits of wire act like the studs that you put in winter tyres?

One of the guys who raced super Moto used to take the scrap tyres from the shop and recut them for track use, pretty sure he had a regroover like they use on truck tyres.
