: (snippage) By the way, scuffing tires (zig zag driving) is NOT to remove rubber, it is to generate some heat in your cold tires so they will stick better.

I think we all know that scuffing the tires creates heat, which is the main reason it's done ... but if there is any build-up of rubber on the tires, it DOES help to remove that also.
