[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 187535, member: 1384"] If you are wanting to remove big lugs (paddle cut boggers, TN or Aetna cut TSLs) then a small propane bottle torch and a cheap wood chisel works GREAT. and only costs ~$20. I know it sounds janky, but don't knock it till you tried it! :****: The trick is not getting the chisel hot enought to burn the rubber, if it smokes its too hot and will not cut good, it'll just gall up in the tire. That's why the propane torch works good. Just the right amount of heat. (I tried MAPP gas and even an acetlyene torch, TOO HOT). I was about to buy a $400 groover to TN cut my new SXs but I tried the chisel/torch first, and happy I did. I still have a little 110v $50 groover to do detail work or sipes [/QUOTE]
