humvee tires question

Has any one tried siping the Goodyear mt tires yet?

I would not suggest siping those...

I dont like siping any tire on a diesel pickup. They start to chunk out if you do that.

and the Goodyear MT is known for having a hard rubber compound.

Never had an issue siping my tires. I could probably see the chunking on MT tires with siping tho. I run ATs

Toyo MT's did it.

Toyo AT's did it worst of all...

From then on I just dont do it.

I would think grooving them would be better. About half the depth of the tread. If they are hard I would think they would be ok.

There is nothing wrong with siping them. Have done several sets and never had issues, even with Toyo ATs

Good to know guys

I've done several sets as well... And because of the siping and it allowing them to chunk out they lasted less then 15k... No thank you.

I've got right at 50,000 miles on the current set of Baja's... No Siping.
