|  tire cutting and siping
do you guys have any ideas on how to sipe these tires just a bit. ive used a razor and put lines in the treads but they dont feel any rougher or feel like they would grab more. any tips tricks you guys can suggest? ill look in the tire/wheel spot in a minute, but i never go to that end of the board...  |

| Siping
I am not sure that you WILL feel the effects of the siping on your finger. Even a REAL tire that is siped is not really obviously rougher. It is the microscopic grabbing of the new edges that help, not an overall roughness. Run the tires on the concrete a good bit to rough them up, they will stick a WHOLE lot better than new. I did cut all the LITTLE blocks off every other tread and that seems to help also - on the 1/18... 1/6 just needs a buncha running. |

siping will make the tread blocks flex more which will conform to the rock better=better traction
