|  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.  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.  |

| Re: 2 tips for modding tires. 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! |
