Siping KM2's?

Will siping my KM2's speed up the wear process? They are brand new and i bought because they are supposed to last a while on road for being a MT tire while perform well offroad. Will this also help offroad? Thanks, John

Couldn't you have asked this in the thread you made yesterday about the KM2s? It seems ridiculous to make a whole new thread when it could have been done in the other thread.

Agreed

Siping is always going to make the tread wear faster. You now have more surface area touching the ground then before. Also, siping only lasts 1-2 years before you have to do it again. Then at some point, the tire is wore past the recommend tread depth for siping.
