| Re: how do you cut the treads on your tires??? yep, you cut the big chunks off with scissors or side-cutters then use a dremel to remove the rest. takes alot of patience. |

| Re: how do you cut the treads on your tires??? I like using body scissors because they seem to be really sharp and easy to get into the tread. I never sand my tires down, so I wouldn't know. |
