Siping
Moderator: TJDave
On the flip side, I always sipe my off-road tires. I am on my second set of sipped swampers with no problems. Before that, I had sipped BFGs and WildCountry MT without ill effect. There are sites on the web that give good reasons for sipping. Oddly, siping has been shown to increase tread life on truck tires.
I suspect that the difference in rubber compounds between tire brands may very the success/life of siped MT tires. Based on Curtis' experience, I don't think that I would sipe the newer BFGs.

I don't Text (at least not very well), I eat Blackberrys, and I only Twitter after sex...

I agree... I had my old style (pre-KM) BFG Mud-Terrains siped and they held up much better than Curtis's. And they siped them real deep. I always felt the siping helped with traction in all conditions, I could always notice the sipes leaving tracks in the snow and dirt.
I'll probably get my Mickey Thompson's siped, I called Commercial awhile back and it was $16 for per used tires, or $13 per new tire.
