jet mech Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 I was wondering what to use to carve my tires? Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 what exactly are you doing to them? and what tires? Quote
wesw Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 to remove lugs get a horse hoof cutter can get it at most farm supply stores works well. Quote
Michael Jackson Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 whatever you do , dont use a grinder or cutoff wheel, unless the place is extremely well ventilated and you dont mind dying from the fumes! worst idea ever! Quote
jet mech Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 I was going to try to take a every other row out off of my kenda klaw xcr's to see if they hook up better. I don't get shit for bite out of them and i thought it might help and if not f@^k it. I ride every thing terrain wise. Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 i wouldnt recommend doing that. i have a set of those tires cut, and while they work well for straight line, they dont provide enough sideways bite to keep them from washing out. bad thing about the kenda tires is that the lugs are pretty stiff. i dont like them for normal riding, but cutting them works well for straight line dragging and hillclimbing. what PSI do you run them at? 3 or 4 would be best im sure. you would be better off running a different set of tires than cutting those for all around riding.

jet mech Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Posted March 17, 2009 I was kind of worried about that. Since you have tried it and not alot of luck for general rideing then I will just sport some new skins. I want the set that hooks up the best don't care about price just want the best traction I can get. I will do some research. Thanks for the heads up. Quote
jbooker82 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 What about if you cut every other knob in a row off. Then stager them from row to row. That way you have the lugs spaced out farter appart. josh. Quote
jet mech Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Posted March 18, 2009 I thought about that to seems rational to me. :shrug: Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I thought about that to seems rational to me. :shrug: you can try it. surely cant hurt. i still doubt they will work as well as the tires in the link i sent you.. Quote
jet mech Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Posted March 20, 2009 Shit I will do both buy the tires and carve the Kendas then i won't have to wonder anymore. So locco what do use use to carve your tires? Quote
