 This is how I cut my tires and it works GREAT. I also narrowed the foam to the size of the center of the rim. It made a night and day change in the tires performance.  | |

Another thing you could try is to soak the tires over night in some wd-40 to soften the tires up a little.

Im also working on these stock tires. Ive soaked them in WD-40 over night and now they dont fit on the rims. The oil expanded the rubber. Anyone else having this problem?

best tire mod (tyre is a Europe and Canada thing) to to just replace them. save up and get well... anything. Rovers, rock claws, anything will be an improvement. the rims are well made and don;t have to be replaced.

Yeah I know to get better tyres cause these are pretty much sh!t but I will be ordering some stuff from america and since I live in Australia shipping is a pain so I'll goin to get everything at once, that's why I'm looking into modding the stock ones for now.
