Cut lots off. And take a pic of the pile afterwards, it's gonna be bigger than the tires. :haha: :haha: :haha:

X2. Cut some off each inside and then groove it. Open up the pattern.

I improved my SSRs

Get the tires nice and hot, either let them cook in the sun if we ever get any, or put them in front of a heater. Cutting goes a lot smoother when the tires are hot.

just waithing for the knife

ill post some pictures when we cut them ....

don't "groove" them.....

you need to "carve", "shape", "hack", etc....

I think.....for free especially.....they've got to have potential....some of the side lugs are pretty big....you just need to really open them up....

First thing I recommend is get them sipped. I had a set and I loved them, they work with some sipping and cutting. The sipping will help a lot in the rocks and on the snow and Ice....

I vote cut everything out but the big outside lugs. Make it look like a comp cut bogger or TSL
