Tire boogies

[Mad Max]

My front tire seems to be getting a lot of extraneous tire globs sticking to it, particularly in the middle. The rear seems to clear just fine. It's a Dunlop Sportmax GP-A (209?) I don't notice any excess vibrations.

Is this common?

Should I be removing them manually?

I love boogies! 100% normal.

NHMS does that. I assume its from the nascar rubber put down around the oval. no other track I've been on does it. I just "cleaned" up my tires over a couple days at Grattan in MI. they are perfectly smooth now. I'll put the boogies back on in a few weeks.

1 Stay on line.
2. Brake harder.

Stough says thats from coasting into the turns. Needless to say my front is boogered up too.

Looks fine. It actually looks good for a GPA. I ran a GPA front for the first two weekends. It looked like I had a 2 wheel drive bike.

wear them boogers like a badge of honor. if pete has em, it isnt as a result of being slow.

One part of many reading a tire.

The ones you should be reading to tell a certain part of the story is the ones on the outer edge of the tire.

I always thought you picked those up riding back to the pits but I guess I'm wrong. Either way they never cause me troubles.

[Mad Max]

Thanks for the insight, gentlemen. I won't be so concerned with it.

its normal and so far i think its a NHMS thing. im sure its a combination of the pits and NASCAR rubber on the straights.

I have boogs on my Michelin front too.

Looks like a rebound problem.

A friend of mine races SCCA, they call it OPR for Other People's Rubber. I thought that was funny.

[SVRACER01]
