I would like to know how to hot knife super swampers and if it is really worth it? Any information regarding this would be useful. Thanks

Takes a while, stinks everything up. Get a professional knife for fastest results, don't cut a lot at one time. Depends on what you're doing with them to decide if its worth it. If you're not a racer or doing a lot of muddin', then I don't see the benefit. Swampers dig like crazy right out of the box...

Super Swampers tend to have MASSIVE tread blocks. By grooving(better term for it) those large tread blocks you can essentially create many more of a smaller(yet adequate) size. Which can make the tires grip better under certain conditions.

Thanks for the tips. Is there a special brand of hot knife that works well or does it matter?
