Houston: Where can I get some tires shaved?
I need to get some tires shave 1 or 2 32nd but I'm not sure who could do it locally. I don't think Discount can shave tires. Any leads?

I get my road race tires shaved through Phil's Tire Service or Vilven Tire. But those shops are located in the mid-west.
I don't know of ANY shaving machines in the Houston or DFW area. You need to find a shop that makes retread tires, like for big rigs. That would be your best bet.
And FWIW ... 2/32s is awfully thin. They are fast and sticky, but don't last very long ... less than a weekend at MSR-H. I get my Toyos shaved to 4/32s. I can get 1/2 a season out of a set.
If you do find a shaver, let me know. That is good information.
