Yeah the carpet knife works well, I'm fairly strong, and I CAN'T cut too deep, I get maybe .25 inches of depth on my cuts. It is annoying to go nice slow and steady, usually I end up just whacking away at em like........ uh yeah anyway.....

that's all the depth you need. otherwise you end up with "chunky" tires because the tread will tear all the way to the carcas very easily.

And it takes me about 45min.-1 hour to groove a 39.5" tire, sipping is a little less time since it's not removing any material.

Double post to a 2 year old thread, selling in the garage with no membership. Wow, that's an acomplishment.

Correct. No posting for-sale items in the general boards please.

Reportedly it's MUCH easier to Sipe if you first wet the tire and keep it wet. May be known, but I don't see it mentioned in a fast scan.
