Anybody know where I can get a set of tires siped? I am running the toyo MT and I talked to a guy who said he got his done and they were way better in the winter.
Thanks!!
When I used to work @ Fountain Tire on 156St and 135 Ave we had a siping machine... have done lots of tires... especially m/t tires. I would highly recommend it. It does make a huge difference.
Call Jim Bailey @ 463-2404 and tell him Rej from Super Grip sent you!!
you can buy this turn the groover blade around and you can sipe your tires
Have you got any experience with these? I saw something like this but I'm a little hesitant to start experimenting with a $500 tire......
Thanks,
Jim said that the Leduc location has a Siping machine. I have also found out that Kal tire on yellowhead has one, and it's a lot closer for me. Sounds like the tires need to be super clean and rock free to get this done. The MT has very few spots for any rocks to get trapped so I'll have to make sure they're cleaned up real nice.
The same guy that had his toyo MT siped told me the best tire he ever had was BFG AT that were siped.
Cool... How much from Kal tire to sipe??? Sorry I forgot to mention that the tires have to be clean from rocks... it wrecks the blades...
I used to ice race an old Ford Cortina 1600 in the 80's and we used to sipe them by hand with a utility knife.We would do 1 block in the direction of travel and the one beside at 90 degrees to it.The difference in traction is unbelievable.
I just had my Nitto Mud Grapplers done at Kal Tire and they charged me $30.0/tire.
Bringing this back up. My new truck came with some not so great tires when they are on the ice. Been going back and forth as to what to do. Thinking it might be worth siping them more. They are firestone transforce AT which have sipes in them already. I just don't want to go out and buy something like the duratracs and have them be no better. Way too many options and opinions out there, I am having a tough time deciding.
