Siped tires

Post by Lesbaru »

Just got new tires, and had them siped just for fun to see if it makes any difference. Anybody have siped tires? I haven't noticed anything spectacular so far.

Good all-weather tires include sipes in their treads already. I am amazed at some of the tread patterns on so-called "all season" tires.

I wouldn't try to add sipes myself. Just don't buy cheap tires, considering how much is at stake.
