the swampers turned out really well, the iroks could have used more latteral cuts rather then the diagonal and radial cuts but for the most part i just opened up the areas where the factory sipes used to be. 1/4 blade on ideal groover... i take this thing to all my tires when they hit 40-50% tread really brings them back to life.

That top one is typically how I groove mine, but I'm finding the grooves need to be wider. So I go 2 passes wide and 2 deep.

so far it has worked out ok... except for the balancing.. :haha:

My hacked up Toyo's. I feel it helps some, haven't done the rears yet and I feel they don't grip as hard.

I like the way you did the outer lugs.

I do mine like this but I take 1/2" out in the center lugs and I leave the outer lugs alone

What blade size?

Looks like a #6 or #8?

Bill · Jan 12, 2011

all I use is a 1/4" blade and go through twice...faster than pushing a 1/2" through once

How I grooved my girlfriends tires :fawkdancesmiley:

Thanks, they have been working pretty good...

I wanted to be able to go back and add more biting edges on later if need be... The outer lugs, I figured I would start a bit in to try and stop them from chunking to badly...

#6... It seems to work perfect for 38" to 42" tires...

I actually thought about not going as deep, then groove the middle of my fresh grooves deeper with a #2 or #4... Sort of mimic the steps on the edges of the Iroks... If that makes sense...

I'm stealing this idea on my next set of tires.
