what does everyone use to groove their tamers? i might have to use my tamers a few races before i get my razrs and im just wondering what to use to groove them, because right now they're regular and have unpredictable traction, and dont hook up when i need them too. thanks

we have a hot knife that is designed for grooving tires, do a search because I remember people posting other ways of grooving.

Hoof trimmer is the quickest.

I'd like to get one of those trimmers, but right now I use a knife. Not very nice to the hands, but gets the jod done. Grooved tamers are the best mx tires I've ever used. Spit dirt everywhere!! :macho :macho

well i have a groover now, but i used to use plain wire cutters with a sharp edge and it worked great just took a while. but i use the groover for grooving the tamers and i groove my own front radials. later kk
