I have had no major chucking issues so far, but the sips do provide more edges for a little worse wear and tear off-road. Where I wheel at Rausch Creek the rock surfaces are great for traction, but they just eat up your tires. But even given that the sipes are too deep to really have any chucking problems.
Plus this way when the tread does wear down you can just re-sip them yourself and not have to pay another 60 bucks. That was my idea anyway. And I didn't want sips on my outer lugs for more chance of chunking. |
I had planned on siping them myself. Les Schwab sipes straight across. Which, I'm not liking. I want to have the cuts follow the contour of each middle lugs. Do you have a pic of yours? How many blades did you have to use. I think the grooving gun might be my next tool
. I just don't know how often I'll use it. I mean, I'll sipe/groove my tires. After that, that's it.
Thanks!
