Is this how they re-thread the tires these days:eek:

I don't know if it was ever done in Ireland but back in Central / East Europe rethreading was quite popular. Never had a chance to see how it is done, though.

This is some mad fecker, how he finds the gaps is amazing , don't know the back story.

But I doubt it's his own V8 M3.

Yet for all his crazy antics he seems to stop for red lights !

The back story is everyone wanted his head after the video went live - including the News etc. Nothing happened, his lawyer did good job. They couldn't prove it was dangerous:D

He also owns a GTR and crashed an M3 before. He owns a car rental business in Poland iirc. He was into drifting but wasn't good enough to make it.

Jaysus, I wouldn't even drive like that on a video game

I know. I mean, who stops at the traffic lights in a video game? :pac:

The beautiful noise that V8 makes though..

You could never do that in Dublin, everyone tailgates t'fcuk so there'd be no gaps to squeeze through.

Had a laugh at the guy in the 106 who did a 180 and still wasn't going fast enough to hit the barrier...

It's not retreading.
It's just cutting tread to make it deeper.
Indeed that was practised in Central / Eastern Europe a while ago.
F.e. I remember my grandfather used to do it himself.
And not because he couldn't afford new tyres.
It was because new tyres were not available on the market, so he could either do that, or drive on bald tyres.

Retreading is still happening, and I don't think there's anything illegal about it in the EU. Plenty of truck tyres are retreaded, and some car ones available as well, even for sale in UK or Ireland.
Retreading though is about putting new layer of tread onto the tyre - not like what you can see on the video.

Last year I rented a car in Poland with retreaded winter tyres, and I must say while they weren't top of the class, they were surely much better than most chineese stuff.

Adding a layer of rubber and cutting treads into it is bad, as there's no guarantee that the new treads will adhere to the old rubber.

Cutting into the minimum rubber depth that major companies deem as a safe minimum, as a result of massive R&D, on the other hand is insane.

We see this a lot in drifting, an original will always hold longer but the odd re-threaded tyre we came across will tear to bits.
We never get all the thread used, they always come apart, the new ply lifts off the original surface every time so they definitely aren't as strong.

All large aircraft gyres are retreaded up to 10 times due to the expense of manufacturing new tyres.

Well yeah but when you see that it just makes you depressed because you can't afford one.

It never ceases to amaze and annoy me how many people on these 'ring crash videos break the rules of the road and don't stop and warn other drivers when they are the first car on the scene of a crash.

Hats off to that guy and the shear amount of effort involved, it's an absolutely flawless job, but a poxy mazda 6? I'd have left it in that ditch.

The point (which went over your head) was that he did it for 1/3rd of the price of a Genuine mazda replacement panel...

And whats poxy about a Mazda 6?
For instance in it class the Mondeo for example had such a shítty 1.8 petrol engine that Ford replaced it with another
manufacturers engine instead....Yep you guessed it...

I'm sure he did save a lot by doing most of the work himself.

I know someone who went through a nightmare with their mazda 6 with piston ring trouble (the 1.8 variant). I know they are not all bad, and a lot of manufacturers share there engines with others. That's no secret.

I appreciate Ken Block's amazing skill but am I the only one who finds those Gymkhana videos over produced and boring?
