Anyone run siped tires, or have you had yours siped? Siping is having narrow slits, about 5/16" deep cut going across the tread. It greatly improves traction on wet surfaces. There are shops that perform the service. Some Michelin, and other brands of tires have sipes from the factory. The idea comes from boating shoes. Those deck shoes, with the white soles? Seems someone put slits across the soles of them, and they gained a lot of traction when the boat deck was wet. Guess you can't argue with science!<p>~Chuck<p>----------<br>Chuck's Chevy Truck Pages - Snowplowing Central<br>http://members.aol.com/csmith669/plowcentral.html
