Wraith40k Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Has anyone heard of Siping their tires? supposedly it helps with traction and keeps the tires cooler. There is a local chain here in oregon where I can have all of my tires 'Siped' for about $30. Since I am running the often maligned RE92's and won't be changing them until they wear out (at which point I get new 18x8 rims and tires, a concession made by the wife). Thoughts? I am pretty sure it couldn't hurt... anyone have any experience with this? link to chain- or is this just wasted $30? also it says 'softer ride' I assume that means to bumps and such... http://www.lesschwab.com/Siping.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith40k Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Thanks! so it seems from reading that if nothing else it would probably improve my wet traction, and probably wouldn't hurt the crappy RE92's one bit! (and for $30 bucks why not?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 cutting little 90 degree lines in them.... Ah, I see- if this is for winter, why not just get studs put in the RE92's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
