I've seen this many times, but I'd have a hard time paying $450 for a tire and cutting half the tread off.

The concept of cutting tread off a 450 dollar tire doesn't bother me IF it actually improves performance. I've been spending money on the jeep to improve it since I bought the jeep.

The change looks like it might improve thrust, help cleaning and not impact directional control for steering. Unfortunately I don't know that to be true and haven't read many reports as of now. I also worry that cutting the tire to that extent would accelerate wear or cause premature failure.

It's something to think about...

Took the buggy to Redbird State Riding area (southern IN) on Sunday. Pretty sloppy, but not as bad as I thought it might be. The trails are pretty tight there and the buggy is pretty wide, so I was frequently having to pivot off trees. The Pitbull Rockers did great. No damage to the sidewalls and they cleaned out very well. I had read that they don't do well in mud, but that wasn't the case for me. Spin em and they stayed clean and got excellent traction. Happy with em so far.
