2 tips for modding tires.

[Rockpiledriver]

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

On to tire #2

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.

or if ya want to cut foams and dont have a band saw, just use a blade from a hacksaw

[DirkDigler]

or.....an electric carving knife(normally used for Thanksgiving Turkeys)

My Turkey always tastes like tire foams

Woo hoo............ as I sit here siping, the mail man just showed up with the outbacks for my moabs. Now to figure out a way to narrow these bad boys and retain both beads.

just cut the wheels how I cut them. Worked very well with limited gluing.

Are you sure it is not just your wife's cooking?

[DirkDigler]

Hmmmmm........?
Maybe she's been serving me the bits and pieces of tire foams to me all these years!

This is as far as I got with my K-rock's.....



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.
