|  Started siping my Moabs
Broke out the Dremel and started siping tires with a cutoff wheel, but I wanted bigger voids then the cutoff wheel was giving me. So I grabbed one of the grinding stones out of Dremel kit and noticed it fit into existing voids perfectly!! I'll get some better pics up, but here's how they look so far.

You could also stack the wheels in a mandrel.  | |

| So far so good....
I had a chance to try the tires out today briefly, so far it's working good. The tires really wrap around rocks now and definitely have more bite. I still may cut a little more off them then I need to cut the rears to match. A couple pics.... |

I'm running heavily cut Dirt Hawg foams. They are softer and smaller in diameter then the Moab foams. I narrowed the foam first by about an inch, then cut big notches out of the inner and outer edges. | |

I finished siping the rear tires. They're definitely wrapping around the rocks better, I'm not sure how it would work on Moabs without foams. I'm going to cut the fronts a little more then the rears to try and get more grip in the front then back.

I got a chance to do quite a bit of testing with them this weekend. They are working awesome!! Even wet, I was able to climb some big steep rock faces. I'm still going to do a little more trimming this week.
