Tyres Shaved/Buffed?

It seems as though getting tyres shaved or 'buffed' is a bit of a dying art - a Google search produced a chap in Birmingham who may or may not have shut up shop at the end of 2023, and a possible service available from Demon Tweeks directly...

Does anyone know of any smaller shops that still shave road tyres down, ideally local to North Yorkshire? Called a couple of shops locally who confirmed it wasn't something they'd heard of being done for years, looking to get some new road tyres scalped down to about 3mm of tread ideally...

Last time we raced our C1 we used http://www.midlandtyreshaving.co.uk/5.html

also not north yorkshire but I'm fairly sure these guys offer it as a service for the C1 racing so would imagine they can do it for others.

Cheers for those Andy, much appreciated - I’ll make some enquiries tomorrow! Location isn’t the end of the world as I have to drive down to Worcestershire at the weekend so will be passing a few places on the way.
