Tire Grooving Iron... want to loan me one?

[uncc civilengineer]

Anyone have one they would loan out for a weekend.. I need to groove one tire.............


OR... does anyone know a decent way to do it w/o an iron?

This will be a very simple groove... nothing elaborate...

Seems like a pretty legit idea to me? Maybe a little dusty, but i bet it would work perfectly.

Did that once with an old set of Hawgs. Backdoor neighbor came up after the second tire, thought the house was on fire I made it through but bought a tool for the next set I did. It can be done though, I recommend good ventilation and a fan behind you to blow the rubber and smoke away. Prepare to get dirty

Here's the extent of the grooving..

Passenger is grooved... Drivers needs grooving.. should be pretty easy but probably still going to be time consuming.. I may not even fool w/ it..

I've got one of the cheap ones like posted above that you can borrow and I'm probably not too far from you. Let me know.
