2 tips for modding tires.

1. After only one completly cut K-rock, I had some really big ballon type skin liesons (sp?) that oozed a clear fluid. :idea: When using side cutters to sipe tires, wrap your fingers with some of those curad cloth bandages.

On to tire #2 :roll:

2. If you want to trim up some foams and have acces to a bandsaw, use it. The band saw makes really nice clean cuts. And anyone who has ever used scissors to cut up foams knows what I mean.

Thank you, please drive thru. :flipoff:

Believe it or not this only took two hours with a sharp pair of scissors and a sanding drum on a Dremel. I don't have any blisters or injuries, but I have been blowing black rubber dust out of my nose for days!

also wear thick leather gloves if you are stupid like me and wait till you have succesfully slit your finger,ouchie. Also use some kind of cutting pliars to cut full lugs off,it helps.
