Is this possible? It's possible, You'll be removing one of the two things that make a dune tire a dune tire. The knobs.... You're not going to be saving quite as much weight, though... Smoothies are buffed to save weight too. Don't get me wrong, you have 4 sets...knock yourself out. It's your time, and it'll be a good experiment...

Is this possible? That'll be cool :cool: they will look like Mohawks!! Shoot, bust out the SawZall and use the grinder for clean up!! Just put some pressure in the tires to minimize deflection while you cut..... Good luck on that, Jay from SanD.

TexasBansheeMan Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) I got a jig set up to try this on. Its a spindle mounted to a table it holds the tire sted-fast as hell. Gona let the rubber FLY tomorrow!! I know its gona reek but I got an idea!! bear with me I am a :beer: redneck :beer: . I want use a car battery charger and some #2 solid copper wire. Gona turn the charger to 200 amp boost take a 6" piece of good ol #2 grab it with the ends let it turn red and just lop em off. then grind and buff. :biggrin: Home made Mo-Hawks<-custom shit!
