As the title states snow tires on my Tirrox are a little too grippy is there anyway to wear them down quickly or just keep playing?

If you take them out of the yoyo? Maybe? Like I personally would take them out so I don’t knick the yoyo… Otherwise i would try shredding through them with some fast combos to wear the pads down

Oh yeah take them out, but yes, fast combos will do if you aren’t in favor of removing your STs
