   I know, I wanted to buy a set of 4, can’t afford it. Your correct, scrape the curb a few times, your almost there. Better still, do this right on the car! Jack the car, set up a small grinder, mount it securly, a large V-belt around the tire, securly mount a 1/4 horse motor to drive it, as the tire spins feed the grinder inwards & along the sidewall. In short, a lath facing off anything, just on a larger scale. I think a Die Grinder with a cutting bit mounted on a compound carriage will work!

   Yes in a way but he …
   Yes in a way but he is hardly removing any rubber, it is a very thin layer he is removing, it won’t hurt the tire. Have you ever seen a tire blow because it went bald even down to the cords? The cords give it strength not the rubber. I have changed many tires that the cords were popping through. Tires normally blow because of under inflation, overloaded or a sudden bruses like a sharpe cut, etc. He’s not removing that much material, he even makes note of that.

   Yes but the rubber protects the textile cords and steel belts of the sidewall

    Good idea, never thought of it! It’s not the rubber that gives the tire its strength, it’s the cord or belt inside the rubber. There use to be companies around that would do this on a machine that would spin the tire as it was removing the rubber.

    Any tire that already has white on it can be used. That is, any narrow white wall or white letter tires. All black tires can not be used.
