    It sounds to good to be true that 303 can double the mileage, however, this guy seems to have no stake in 303, and seems trust worthy otherwise. His channel name is,"Sweet project cars," or something thereof.

    What are your guy's thoughts?

    Also, I just bought new tires from the internet and have them soaking in my garage right now. I suppose that in a couple years, maybe a few, that I will know if this is legit.
    What do you use to soak the tires in? How much product does it take?

    He probably really believes it but that obviously doesn't mean he is right

    I think as someone else said in the thread. 303 won't last more then a week on exterior trim so nevermind actually being on the tread. It would be taken clean off in the first 20 feet of driving

    No, according to the video he’s showing actual proof. Did you watch the video?? It’s not very long. Watch it and tell me if he seems like he’s making the stuff up. If he smells like a BS artist then I’ll be quiet and you won’t hear anymore from me about this subject...

    Re: 303 Aerospace Can Double the Life/Mileage of Your Tire's Tread?

    Ok, this guy drags a rat tail file across three different compounds, none of them tire compounds. Fast forward through that bit. His customer has 100k on his tires with decent tread left. I can believe that. Personally, I would never remount tires with that kind of mileage on them, no matter how good they looked. The problem is that there is no control for this test. No untreated tire to compare tread wear to. Even if there were, if it was on the same vehicle, no car wears all four tires the same. So this test would have to be performed at a test wear lab such as tire manufacturers use to rate treadwear.
    With that said, I will say that I've seen many tires with dry rot/cracking in tread grooves with none present on the sidewalls, so perhaps 303 or some other product would help there, but you would have to re-apply it religiously.
    Tire life basically boils down to what the rubber compound is, how you drive, power and weight of the vehicle, heat, ozone, driving surface roughness, wheel alignment, and probably some others I can't think of right now.

    Re: 303 Aerospace Can Double the Life/Mileage of Your Tire's Tread?

    Just soak half the tire in 303 in 20k miles or so there should be a considerable egg shaped tire as one half should have worn twice as the other and you should be able to measure it

    Or you can do one out of 2 tires and let us know in 50k miles with proper rotations and alignments how the one treated tire has half the wear Of the other one. Will wait for the necro post in a few years

    [QUOTE=custmsprty;1576258]Make sure your insurance policy is up to date because on your first turn you'll be off the road and into whatever lies off the road. LOL.

    Okay, but I'm not sure why that's funny.

    Seems you are a suspicious person. No, I'm not getting kick-backs.

    The idea is that through persistent application, the rubber will absorb the 303 well beyond the surface layer.
