Tire siping
When I bought my replacement tires 4-5 months ago, I was somewhat in a rush for an upcoming trip, so it completely slipped my mind about getting my new tires siped. Has anyone here had their tires siped on their SMB, and are you happy with them?
I've been running siped 35" BFG Mud Terrains on my Bronco for a number of years now and they've been wearing great. I went straight to the siped 35" tires when I went to the BFG's, so I don't have a direct comparison from un-siped to siped.
FWIW, siping is suppossed to let the tire run cooler, wear slower, and be quiter with virtually no downside. I know one of the local America's Tire Companies can sipe a tire for $10/tire.
