has anyone ever cut tread off the tire to make wider slots to prevent mud from getting clogged in there saw it on xtreme 4X4. just want to see what they look like and how they ride on the road?

 

Unless you understand tread design and have the right tools you run the risk of greatly increasing the noise level of the tire and reduce the tread longevity.

Why would you want to do this? Unless it is some very odd size, you can find tires with almost any practical or unpractical void ratio that you might want.

 

I know people who cut lugz out of there tires but never do these tires see hwy or public roads.

Boggers are excellent candidates for cutting and Baja Claws are also popular for cutting

 

this was done to their s10 crazy/over the top/trailer queen buggy. Not for any street use imo. Easier to do when you get $900 (?) tires for free too lol

 

who's?

 

extreme 4x4...its a cool show on tv. I know that the short course (CORR) racers do this to increase traction and help to control how the vehical exits the corners. Definatley wouldnt be a streetable tire.

 

I would ask are you having serious mud clogging issues or just something you saw and was curious about. NOT something to do for a daily drive in the least.

 

Get some Boggers and do a write-up for us.

 

Save your self some time. Go buy the Nitto Mud Grapplers. I have a set of 35" on my TJ and now I have 37" on my JK Rubi and Love them.

I wished I had the video of us muding, the tread is shaped so it throws the mud out of the tread as well as snow, I feel like I am driving a snowmobile on 2-3' fresh snow of track.

In truck haven I was throwing mud 20' high and 20' in front of my jeep.

They climb on the rocks even better.

this wasn't anything i planned on doing was just curious if anyone out there had tried it.
