Default Grooving/Cutting tires?

To everyone out there that has cut or grooved their tires with a Dremel. What sort of blade should I use. Im going to try grooving my Crushers. Any pics of what have done could also help. Thanks

Reinforced Cut-Off wheel........don't have to be the reinforced, but that's all that I use anyway.

If you want wider grooves you can stack the cut-off disks also.

Does anyone have pictures of some grooved or cut tires ? just need some examples. I was thinking about grooving my mashers to try to compete with a set of claws.

Wear protective gear, gloves, glasses and mask (filter for your breathing).
I tried cut-off discs, high speed cutter and diamond wheels. In the end I used stacked diamond wheels (should have stacked more), if I had had larger diameter high speed cutter would probable have used that but the collet kept rubbing the tire shoulder. When I was done there was rubber dust everywhere and some smoke...
I was sneezing some black stuff for days. But now I have Mud Thrasers that look like Mashers.
