your local kaltire should have a machine. That is who does mine in lethbridge!

When I checked a few years ago Calgary was the closest place. Tires must be new, they don't want to fug up there blades on the gravel stuck in your tire. You can buy hand sipers pretty cheap on ebay if you have more time than money.

I got mine down at Kal Tire in Enderby. I know it is a bit far for you but just to let you know Kal Tire does it. Also, they will do used tires as I have done 2 sets already over the past few years. They work awesome too!

As as I know none of the Kal tires in Calgary do it anymore and was told only their Edmonton shop does it now.

 

[z400]

what are they charging

 

[campingnut]

Sorry I have not got a price nor do I know which Kal tire in Edmonton.

my brother got me a tire groover for christmas, i think it was around 60 bucks, we grooved and siped his toyo m55's and it worked great. i also use it to groove my dirtbike tires. since your only sappose to sipe about 1/8" deep its nice to have so you can redo the tires as they wear

this is the groover i have?

I usually pay $80 to get 4 done in Sicamous......they do used tires all the time because I get mine done 2-3 times for the life of the tire.......I just did the quad tires on my tractor with a razor blade knife......few years back I did my 33" on my suzuki sammy......never again! pay the money! oh and they run cooler in the summer and last longer too.......I sipe BFG AT and run them all year.....with the snowflake symbol!

I had a set of Toyo M/T tires siped once. Cost 20 bucks a tire. Helped with the shitty winter handling somewhat. However, when I hooked back up to my 5th wheel the following summer, they evaporated. Worse than before. Grand total of 36,000 km on those tires. I wouldn't run Toyo M/Ts again, nor would I run a wiped tire in the summer towing heavy.

YMMV.
