TIRE GROOVING(nopt the usual question)

[Ralph]

i have heard that people use "hoof trimmers" to groove their turf tamers, well did i buy the right thing?

[Sparks425Ex]

I don't Know what those things are but they look like they would do the trick. Heat them up and I like to heat up the tamers a little bit on each knob I do. They look like they will work

Not the best pic but you get the idea...

[Ralph]

[Ralph]

i groved mine diff look at the right tire in this pic(its photoshoped)

[racerx573]

They look sorta like bolt cutters w/ big toe nail clippers on the end.

LRD do u have a better pic of what u bought cuz im goin now to buy it

[Ralph]

no i only have one pic, its like a woden handle with a curved up blade that has like a "volute" <---vocab:cool: at the end, if u go to any horse store u can just ask for a "hoof trimmer"

[lilpoppy]

What is the purpose of doing this?:huh

[Colby@C&DRacing]

I sell a hot knife that is made for grooving for $75. It works great but those pliers look like they work pretty good.

[DGR Designs]

those clippers do teh job right! thats what i use

[honda400exrider]

LRD, unless they have a blade on each side, i dont think those clippers will work... well if they did theyd be a b*tch

My Way of Grooveing tires!!
- i put mine on my quad went out to the road got them a lil warm By spining them:cool:

- the i came back to the garge to put alot of air in them and to a razor blade for like takein inspection stickers off of cars!

-The purpis for the road things is to get the tread a lil easy so that it aint so hard to cut

-make sure u got a new razor black in it because its really easier and please dun cut ur self :scary:

i was thinking about this and in plubing thre is a braided wire with little handles on the end kinda looks like this.

|-------------------------------|

and you move back and forth with it and it works like a hack saw.

my guess is that it would be easier to manuver than a blade. and cheaper than the clippers, possibly a cleaner cut.

My friend grooved his with a heat gun and a Schrade. Unfortunately, about 1/2 way through the 2nd tire he grooved his palm too.

Grooving opens up the tread pattern to get more grip and forward bite.
