You guys might already be aware of this trick, but I just saw it on another forum. To scuff the tread on tires, find a socket the right size to allow the tire to go on snugly. Then put the socket in your drill and use a piece of sandpaper to scuff the rubber. Pretty neat idea, at least to me.  |

Unless you want the rears to look like you've done lots of burnouts. 😂

Another trick I've been using is to put the tire on a rotary tool (Dremel) sanding drum and run it lightly across a sanding stick.

Run it a bit more firmly over the stick or a sanding block and it makes an excellent worn-out tire! Quite often with uneven tread wear because tire molds seldom are perfect at smaller scales.
