    What oil to use?

    I use 15w-40 shell. Seams to stay clean a bit longer and hold a higher PSI. The data plate says 30w but for what oils are today compared to even 5 years ago a 15w-40 works very well.

    Wheel bearing torque?

    On race car bearings (very big) 15-20 foot pounds. Thats a very good place to start, too loose and clunk clunk clunk, too tight and burn up city. A deuce bearing is just like any other, 15-20 and recheck after a couple 100 miles and you should be good to go.

    Deuce tires, wet pavement traction

    it works great!!! I have all my mud tires done at Tires Plus. they do it for free for me but it cost like 10 a tire. And BOY does it help!

    Deuce tires, wet pavement traction

    yes there is a way to see how good the traction of a tire is. Its a small pin type gauge that pokes the tred and shows you how soft or hard the compound is. we used it on the race car (super late model, one step below ASA) works great, and I can order one for avout 60 bucks give or take.
