My guys at ATC are recommending I sipe my new set coming in today. What do you think? They already appear to have factory sipes, though they're substandard on wet pavement at least compared to Nitto T/G's w/o sipes. Here's a pic of the current T/A KO tread. It's only $10/ea. Whaddya think?

Edit: They showed me a siped Yoko Geolander and the cuts were mostly all within the tread block. Shouldn't the sipes allow a water path out?

 

they are siped already,I wouldn't do it.

the only tires i would sipe are muds

 

Those are already siped plenty. I wouldn't sipe them any more. I would think they top of the tread blocks would get weaker with more siping.

 

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking the same, but trust my tire guys opinions. They aren't the type to upsell, they really believe in what they do and back it up with great service. I called them and cancelled the sipes just in time, they arrived from the distribution center so I'm off to the shoe store soon.

 

I wouldnt touch em. They are a good tire as they are. Get in some mud and you wil realize they are an a/t tho. Mileage wise they should hold up well I have almost 20k on the set i have now and they havent even worn the tit between the threads down. Keep them rotated and you should be good

 

Pictures Bob after you get them.
Yeah, the factory sipes look good.

I have always had my tires siped, but I did not get my muds siped this time, they had sipes already.

 

i would also think getting the mud terrains i bought a new set of 31s last year and wish i got those instead.. o wel my surf doesnt see any off road...

the bfgs arnt that good on wet pavment but are amazing in the snow.. alot better then the mud kingz

 

No pics, Corey. The new set was defective, so they're giving me a big credit toward anything they sell. I'm deciding now which way to go for my use.
