old put-put Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 What do those of you who cut the tread on your tires use to cut them? I was thinking of buying a set to cut everyother row, but didn't know what tool to use to cut them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked about this a while ago and some guy said he used a hoof trimmer. ( i dont know what the hell that is) but i found it easier to inflate my tires a lot.

locogato11283 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Sawzall with a course wood blade. I go back with a box knife and trim shit up afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old put-put Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks for the info! Sawzall sound good. A hoof trimmer is used for trimming horse hooves to put shoes on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie B Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 My boy said he used a battery and wire to cut blocks of tread off his. IDK though it sounded sketchy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
