You can purchase an inexpensive grooving iron from any company that deals with dirt track stock cars.

 

[broncomania]

you can bring them to me and i'll groove them for a small fee. i have a tire groover.

Grinder, skilsaw, chainsaw. All require a pretty steady hand and make for a good show. Grooving iron always works too. Go try out that new chainsaw you bought last week!!!!!

I know you are partially kidding, but I might look into the chainsaw method for my tractor tires. Ive never thought of that.

 

[snappy]

I'll rent you my groover.

HOLY CHRIST! Let's take a potentially dangerous and turn it into something from a blood and guts movie. I might have to get one of those if I can find some chainmaille gloves.

Thats funny, I just called a speed shop the other day to see if they had any blades for mine. The guy said they were out but he had a blade that goes on a grinder, he said it was made for grooving. I had no clue what he was speaking of until now. If I didn't already have a grooving iron I'd sure try it out.

But I sold them & got the pbr's

thats just cool. I may get that just "to have"


and yeah,I've seen people actually use a chainsaw, so its not completely out of the question if you are decent with it.

about $40.00 each tire.
basically depends on tire size and how much cutting you want.

Just buy a grooving iron...invite some ppl over and take turns groovin. It will wear your arm out pretty quick.

 

[redneckjeep87]

i'll do a basic grooving on your set for $100.00
edit: this pic shows a basic grooving.

 

[broncomania]

if you want the side lugs done like this its $10.00 more per tire.

 

[Ben West]

a sharp razor knife works well for cutting the lugs like that, cheap and no smoke.

 

[willness33]

Have you been drinking?

LOL

Actually, yes I was. I had to check the post date and time to be sure though. The old hands weren't typing as fast as the brain was going.

 

[1stgenxxx]

The outside lugs are pretty easy with a razor knife but I wouldn't wanna try the middle
