Default Siped my tires today

How much improvement do you think I will see? These are heavily cut clod tires and have been working decently, but I'm hoping that this will really improve their grabbing power. If this doesn't work I may have to spring for a set of Moabs.

Go for the moabs they are sweet and taller than the stock clods that means higher diffs.. I just picked up a set and as you may have heard the moabs are the best new crawler tire. Well worth the money.. My 2 cents

I was happy with cut clod tires for a while Moabs or BFTs otherwise ;)

Yeah, probably took 2 or 3 hours, but it was a good learning experience. My next ones will look a lot cleaner.

I narrowed mine, and just cut a little bit of the tread off, and it made a big difference.
I'm too lazy to keep cutting, especially when everyone is recommending LSTs, or BFTs, or...
