Default 1.9 IROKs

I have some 1.9 IROKS that have barely been used. But I'm not really liking how wide they are compared to the ROK LOXs. Has anybody shaved them down so they don't look so wide?

I love mine, the more I run them the better they work. I've never ran the Rok Lox, maybe try up in the wheel & tires section.

I chucked mine up on a drill and took them to my belt sander. The seem to work even better and look way more scale.

Can I see a pic of where you sanded them?

Looks like the outer lug edges were smoothed/rounded.

O I see now, I'm on a iPhone so I'm missing half of the detail.
Thanks

I ended taking off a bit more than I really wanted on the main tread, the compound is super soft and goes away with a quickness. The side tread was taken down a lot and the corners rounded over. The only problem I have now is the sidewall down towards the bead is super thin, and I never touched that part. Id say it is even thinner than the 1.9 pit buls.
