I got my tires siped today. (Yes, before I did this I did do research on it). However, I was wondering if any of you had any personal feedback on tires that you have that are siped. I run Goodyear MTR 265/75/R16 Thanks Trey | ||

It really helps in low traction on road conditions (snow / ice / black ice / rain / standing water), but weakens the lugs (you're making deep cuts in them) and makes them more susceptible to off-road damage. Bits of the lugs can break off more easily. | ||

I have my BFG Mud Terrains siped and I really don't know if it make that big of a difference. I think that it may help keep the heat down and tire life increases. I have noticed that I get less cupping with the tires siped | ||

I siped the tires on my daily driver last year (2wd S-10...kick me). I noticed a decrease in road noise, and a decrease in tire wear. |
