    That actually produces a fairly decent result. How's the balance?

    back when I ran 20" wide street tires on my street cars they had a undiseriable pattern for wet weather. no way for the h2o to escape. I pondered the idea of my skill saw set at the proper depth to add sipes to them.but then I was looking around the hoosier tire had a end of season clearance on their dirt track tires!!! they were a boxed shape. tread.so i ordered a set...omg!!! zero hydroplaining!!! and oh so soft too!!! no telling how mnay sets of those big tires Ive bought&wore out.the first set was a very hard rubber, more of a look at mee tire.33x19.5" mickey thompson sportsmans. I must of put close to one hundrad thousand mils on them or more. when they were nolonger used( replaced by the dirt track tires) they went into the shed for 15 years then went on to my street bug!!! for another 4 years or so. then I put dirt track tires on it too. thats my avatar with the hoosiers on it, those were a tad smaller only 16x31" with 15" wheels. lotsa fun right there.

    They make tread grooving machines for that. They work just as fast & are very accurate!
