Tire grooving

Nope, they still had decent tread, I just cut more and siped. Have 90 mile commute daily, 75-80 on highway, had no trouble. took them in once to get balanced and the guys asked me where I bought them, said they'd never seen that tread pattern lol. I made them pretty aggressive.
Anyone who would try to cut tread in a bald tire for highway use would need his head examined. Now I remember why I don't post here often-thanks for the reminder

 

Oh we would not want a difference in opinions. My oh my someone might not agree with me. Wah Wah.

 

Your welcome!

I just figured since you had 70k on them they would be pretty worn.

 

I laugh looking at the garden tractor guys attempting to add ridiculous amounts of weights/chains to the rear of GT's attempting to work in the snow. 4 wheel drive is much greater than having weight in the rear when operating a snow blower or even attempting to mow on steep slopes.

 

The rear tire rims have the concrete JD weights, that's it.

The hydraulic snow blower mount will put down pressure on the blower unit if it is not in the "float" position. So the blower does not unload the rear tires, it will raise the front tires right off the ground so you can't steer though.

Steep hills is where 4WD really shines though especially coming DOWN HILL.

 

After reading this, I decided to put my money into new tires instead of chains on my latest snow removal project. After a little blowing, I'm pretty happy with that choice especially given how dry rotted the tires were anyway...thanks!
