I have a set of DOT Treps that have been grooved. The outer lugs transitioning to the sidewalls are up to 1.5" deep. The middle is 19/32nds on average.
You'll notice some of the pics in the album are from before the groove job. The idea was to remove some rubber to create voids for the lugs to grab better and wrap a little better. I'm pleased with how the groove came out, but now I'm moving to the world of stickies.
In all my years of perusing the world of off-road online classifieds, I've never seen a set of 37" for a 17" wheel DOT Treps; in fact, I was told these were stickies when I bought them. After digging through lots of info on the net, I'm finally fairly confident they are DOT. There is a slim chance they are stickies, but I really don't think so.
That being said, it's tough to put a price on them because there's nothing out there to compare to in the used market, plus they're pretty far from how the factory rolled them out. They have right at about 22 to 24 hours of grooving in them as a set of (4), going down to the first layer of cords in spots, which doesn't concern me; these tires are bias-ply and super tough.
Asking $1000, or best offer. In Hot Springs, AR and text is best - 501 two6two 80 18 Jordan
