sounds like something I should do. don't know if I get my self to dice up my newer tires though.
they say you can do it with a regular adjustable utility knife if you have a softer tread compound.

a heated tread cutter makes it so much easier though

It's the same thing, siping and tread block cutting. I have it done to my tires.

ya it takes a while to groove tires but the results are worth it

cheese_man 10-03-2010 06:02 AM

hmm. i always thought they were 2 different tools

on a lighter note* i think i found my turbine rims in cambridge

cheese_man 10-03-2010 06:59 AM

these are the tires i a looking at

Firestone Destination M/T

excellent for mud and snow , but they need siping though

i wonder what the u.s price would be ( we get raped up here for tire prices )
