How to Sipe your tires!!

[JOMJ87]

I've noticed that the siping helps the lugs shape over things and allows the lugs to bite more... most of the tires on the market have great forward/reverse bite but lack the side hilling traction. SO the sipes going in the direction help with the side bite also.

as far as the siping with a razor blade. I use a siping machine daily at my job and we use a spiral blade that is as sharp as a razor blade. A main reason for siping vehicle tires is not only for added traction but its mostly for heat dissipation.

this is the machine i use.

So who is gonna make a scale version???"thumbsup"
