Tire Grooving? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

CleanNeon98 · 11-20-2014, 10:32 AM

Hey everyone, this is a bit of an odd request, but I'm looking at these tires potentially. They are the Maxxis Victra RC-1, a DOT approved slick.

This shop in California made their own grooves to make them a bit more street friendly.

I don't know what the costs would be, but does anyone know of shops that could provide a service like this, and possibly recommend tread patterns for different uses?

Make your own template and buy a tire groover. You can even write your name in them.

Are you going to run an R compound on the street? Just curious if so, and why...

probevette · 11-20-2014, 11:39 PM

.....why?

CleanNeon98 · 11-21-2014, 10:46 AM

Cause people run NT-01 and love that ****.

Winter is the wrong time to go about this.

I vote just buy the right tire for your application. I would never modify a tire.

... lol. People do it all the time.

Just like shaving a brand new tire down so the tread doesnt flex/roll over as much.
