i currently am running good year 4 ply terra tires until i sack up and spend the cash on flotations.. im looking to do some experimenting with them, though. has anyone on here cut them and how well do they work? any pictures?

thank ya
jeff

Is there actually any meat that can be cut out. The terra tires seem to be thin in comparsion to a "V" thread.

imnot sure steve, they can't be any thinner than a 4 ply firestone, i mean they are 4 ply rating, unless they have thinner plies, but i dont see how that would make any sense? i know billy told me about cutting them one day...

I really dont know any thing about them. Im basing my observation on looking at yours when we were fixing the flat at Wellsville. They just seem to be a thin tire to me. I dont know of anybody who has cut them. You could be the first in our group, go for it. Start with some shallow cuts and go from there.

I've used to have a pair that had some work done on them
I ended up selling them to a buddy of mine.
They weren't cut actually like we think cut but had little pencil sized notches cut in the tread that allowed them to flex a bit.
I'll try to get some pics.............

you can cut the center line out thats the line that runs clear around the tire that will help alot

A buddy I ride with has cut his. They're getting a bit worn now but he mostly sharpened it up and cut a few overlapping "lugs," if you want to call them that, out. I seem to think they did better. He loves his terras and plan on getting a new set some time.

the terras they are talking about our a different syle, more of a turf saver tread! For some reason goodyear named two different traad styles terras. I thing the v-bar are terra super trak and the other ar just terra? Here is the other terras on Jeff Clays buggy.

I've seen several guys run these at Haspin Acres with good luck. But they cut out the zig zag in the middle. Ussually on smaller engines.

I've got Bilsteins that fit that truck on mine. I think they will work all the way up into the mid 80's model trucks. You gotta get that mounting bar out of the upper mount so I just pop the whole rubber bushing out and put in urethane ones from Autozone ($5).
