Default Tools for narrowing tires.

I did a search, but didn't come up with anything. What does everyone use to narrow tires? Just a regular pair scizzorz? I need to un-widen some 2.2 claw dawgs for a cherokee prerunner, but dont know where to start. Thanks in advance.

regular scissors wont work. Use the curved lexan scissors they work like a charm

A dremel with a cut-off wheel mounted in a fixture to hold it perpendicular to your work surface. Set the height of the cutter and rotate the tire along it with the tool running.

Just do it the hardcore way. Use your teeth.

Nail Clippers, a butter knife and a map gas torch...

Just messing.

I've used heavy duty scissors and they work very well, just need to have a very steady hand.

If you can trace a line where you want to cut, it'll make it a lot easier.

I just narrowed a set of Mashers with some HD scissors and glued them together with Lost Tire glue. It's my first time using that glue and I like a lot better tghan the IC2000 I've used in the past.
