Rubber in wheel wells..

This is a real serious question, knowing how soft our tires on and the way some of us drive. How many of you have rubber particles in your wheel wells??

I'm thinking rubber coming off of the tires is a common thing. Especially if we get any wheel spin whatsoever.

Try doing pre-stage burnout at the track.

You'll get tons of rubber all over your wheelwells and even stuck to the body behind the wheels.

I used to get that all the time.

You sure it's not the undercoating/rustproofing crap they put on?

I'd think you'd know if you were smoking the tires that much.
