[QUOTE="jordan7118, post: 422614, member: 1253"] I use an Ideal tire groover. The trick is to get the tire hot before you cut on it. Otherwise, it's not going to be quick or fun. I lay a tire horizontally over two saw horses with a kerosene heater below it. I flip it once or twice to heat it up on both sides, then I groove. I tried cutting tires when they weren't hot, and it sucked. Also, a sharp blade is crucial. They're about $10 for a pack of 10, so don't be a cheapass and try to get all the life out of a blade. Just change it out for a fresh one. Money well spent. [/QUOTE]
