Grooving some tires

I got a new Tire Groover for X-mas
so I started on my snow tires
I still have to sipe them but after 2 hrs. I got one cut so far....
Before

After

Side By Side

1 quart jar of the cut rubber

I still have to clean it up a bit
I found some missed cuts and my hand was getting numb
by the time I was 1/4 way around finally worked out a good pattern for the rest.

Nice but sounds like a lot of work. Let us know if you notice a difference.

Thanks Guys
Yeah I'm averaging about 2 hrs. per tire.
It should give a better bite in the snow.
the Lineier center tread always slipped on the Snow and Ice

Good practice before hitting the more expensive tires.....
next is the 38 TSL Swampers I want to change the pattern up a bit.
Then on to the 45s they will take a day or more each... I'm sure. :roll:
