grooving tires

[cheyenne93]

Has anyone out there ever grooved tires? Want to take a set of the solid rubber nascar tires and square block them into dirt tires. Anybody have any thoughts or input on doing this?

You might could save yourself some work by tracking down some of the tires from the Revell/Monogram sprint car kits.

I have some sprint car tires. They are a little to big for the stance I'm going for. But thanks for the input.

I’ve never tried it, but maybe a cuticle trimmer would work?

I haven't done it for years but I used to use a hack saw blade, a hobby saw, or sometimes a Dremel tool with a saw blade in it. Takes patience though.
