aight hmm i'll have to think about it. myronhntr80 do u have a pic of the tire tread up close?

RE: A little fun in the snow
 

Some shops won't sipe a tire if it is not brand new. Liability reasons. If you can find a shop to do it I would. If there is any snow packed or icey roads you should test your braking distances before and after siping. It would be interesting to find out the difference.

Here is one pic. I took it at night and my camera didn't focus very well. You can see the sipes though.

aight sweet thanks! haha ya with the testing it wont be hard to find a spot lol it just snowed here the other day lol i'll see what shops can do it. also is it possible to do it myself?? or is the machine set up for it specifically?

also since i drive on the road alot would the sipes wear quickly by driving on dry road alot? or do they spread water and get good traction w/ water like they do the snow/ice?

RE: A little fun in the snow
 

They are supposed to wear worse if you drive on gravel A LOT. Occasional driving on gravel should not be a problem. On highway they are supposed to wear better because of their greater flexability. Like I said before, This is the first set of tires that I have had siped. My brother always sipes his tires. I'm not sure if you would sipe all terrains or just mud terrain tires.

Do not attempt to do it yourself. The machine that does it is specifically built for this single purpose. You could easily ruin a perfectly good set of tires trying on your own. Plus on the safety side of things...

aight i was just curious cuz basically its just cutting more tread into the tire so i thought there might be a chance of me doin it myself but i guess not. thats fine i'll look around for some shops that might be able to do it for me

My brother had it done to his tires he has on his 1989 Jeep Wrangler
