i know mostly everyone hates thornbirds, but my friend has some on a truck he bought, if you cut an inch out of the long knob on top of the tire in the, do u think it will make a difference? would it make it into a better tire?

I would say find someone who will trade or sell em and buy what you want. Cutting up any tire will compromise it.

The way I would cut a Thornturd is start about half way up the sidewall and press really hard with the sharp end of a knife.

J/K I have no real experience with the tires or with grooving. From what I hear the rubber compound of Thornbirds is wears really fast, cutting wont do anything for that. It may help with the fact that they do not clean themselves and act pretty much like an A/T when in the mud.
Just my .02

What is he looking for in terms of performance? If he just wants them to clean better I'd just mark off every other lug and cut it out. It'd howl like a bogger on the street though. If he wants on-road performance, just leave 'em be or sipe them.
he wants offroad performance, he doesnt care about road noise, he just trying to make a horrible tire design, almost good.
