im thinkin bout doin a little cuttin on my back tires and was wonderin what would be the best tool 2 cut them with

if they are ditch witch tires u need a grooving iron,boggers u can cut lugs off with a sawzall

they r 31-15.50 v treads

i just want 2 cut a groove up the center of the treads just 2 make a inch or so gap up the middle

we take cheap flat head screwdrivers and tack a razor blade on the end.. heat it up and works great... but theres a tone of ways..

Simplest thing is send them to KOKO in Ky he does a killer job on tires

if i get any1 2 do it, it will b koko, but i like 2 try 2 do things first if i can. that way i learn and if i need 2 cut any more in the future ill b able 2 and wont have 2 worry bout findin some1 2 do it or havin 2 pay 4 it. saves me time and money. besides i just like havin something 2 do out in the garage.

yes he does

This is a link to the most popular Tire grover:

If your just going to put 1" wide groves in them then maybe a circular saw with a Dado blade set to the desired depth. May want to run the blade backwards. I have not trye this, its only a suggestion. I have used a Sawsall for removing lugs on Boggers. Works a whole lot faster than a Grover.

Moon Dog Let me say fist That I know nothing about tire cutting but I saw a used Firestone for sale a couple of weeks ago and asked the guy what he wanted for it he said $20 but I had to buy the other three to get it 2 denmans and 1 super grip just like yours and since I only had $ 20 a piece in them I tried cutting the super grip and I think it is how you are wanting to cut yours I was surprised how soft the tire was verses the denmans and Man it flexes now I am going to cut the sidewalls some . I used a cutting Iorn like Ody. posted a picture of and took KoKos advice I just went to town . Dont know if I took a wrong turn on the way to town but I went any way !

yea aboone thats exactly how i want 2 cut mine
i appreciate all of the tips and advice, im goin 2 buy an iron and see what i can do
maybe it will turn out maybe it wont but ill post and let every1 know how it went. thanks again 4 the help

thanks 4 the link ody. im goin 2 order it tonight

Make sure you order the #8 cutter along with it. The 1/4"cutter that comes with it makes for a long day. Also buy extra packs of blades.

thats the same iron i use and it works great mine was from myers tire supply though i paid like 90 bucks though . it works great you set your blade depth and go to town . i would average a blade a tire , they break on me . also i did the same cut as them v treads and they hooked up pretty good . also i put a fan on me and the tire to keep the heat away and the little smoke to . good luck
