Well it probably DOES make a difference, just not from the 100 yards they do it for
No, it won't make any difference.
MotoGP riders and the like will do it, but then they have a lap which is about 2 miles to do it to generate heat, and their tyres are a much softer compound.
Anywho, I did hear once that quickly accelerating and braking generates more heat in the tyres than weaving does.

Oh, and take no notice of the fun police

Well it must make some difference if the racers do it, just whether it actually makes any noticeable difference on the road.

Edit - What he said ^

Besides, that is just one very minor detail to an otherwise fantastic forum. That's why I can still see me being here even after I buy myself a Honda....

Such is life on a public forum
Bugged by the forum? Buying a Honda? You need to grow a pair good man
