Default cut twin or X tires?

has anyone cut their stock Twin-force or X-factor tires? I am cutting my twin force tires right now and it looks like they will turn out pretty good. I have a spare set of tires for each truck so I figured I'd try and cut them and see how soft they are. The Twin tires are really soft. The X tires are not so soft.. We'll see

I'm curious to see the results. Twin tires have so small and spaced ribs that I can hardly think any advantage shaving even more of them.
Let's know how it turns out.

I got two twin tires cut so far, and they are real grippy, but I ran out of glue, so I can't finish them yet. I'm going to pick some more glue up this weekend and I'll shoot some photos up

Here is what I did to my stock X factor tires just for practice. They worked 200% better. Waaay softer.

XF tires are told too stiff on the X, but IMO they work great on my Clod!!! But the best tires I've ever tried are the MGT ones...
Think I've already seen u somewhere, Clodbrett, right??

Eh, maybe.. I am on Clodtalk, and the Global forums as clodbrett, and RCuniverse as well.

In fact, the XF tire compund is very close to the one used to make the RIP Giant Tracs!!!
