Hello... a newbie to team.net here!

A basic question, but here goes: in purchasing R-compound tires, I noticed
that I can buy with the option to have them shaved or heat-cycled. Can
someone give me a brief explanation of what is done and what the advantages
are?

Lastly, has anyone fit 315/35/17 onto an 89 corvette? I am currently running
(stock, with I think 9.5" rims) 275/40/17 BFG Comp T/A, but will soon
consider getting race tires. It has been suggested to me that I should try
to get the largest tires available that will still fit.

Many thanks,

Cal.
