evening all! I havent had anything to do with regrooving tyres from the last 15 years, when we used to do the odd speedway tyre for a car i was crewing on. Now, imlooking round, wanting to know about various types, that would be suitabe for rally gravel tyres, putting fresh edges on them etc. What are your experiences! what have you used! and does anyone know where one may be for sale! cause i havent found one on here suitable *on motocross tyre cutter) All helpful input and feedback appreciated!

#1- A skill that seems to be disappearing. Iused to have extra rain grooves put in etc., and deepen grooves in semi-slicks.

you cant cut tyres these days there is absolut no met below the surface and the canvas or stealbelt will show within 1mm or less . I dont know if you can still do truck tyres or if they have made there tyre the same non servicable.

A tyre company in Hamilton/ Frankton used to have full size machine for re-groving & re-rounding tyres. From memory, it was about the same size as a 3 seater couch & you mounted the tyre in 1 end on a spindle & applied whatever tool you needed for the job. I think it was made originallyfor fixing retreads

Is your one adjustable on mine you can change the depth

Yep, the higher the performance rating of the tyre = less base rubber to achieve higher flexibility.

Hand held trimmers don't give an original look to the tread. Many years ago, a regular wof inspector I had, would allow me to re-groove my light trailer tyres enough to get pass BUT ONLY if it hadn't been done before

haha! LOL. like i said, putting a fresh edge on them. on the gravel tyres. Ok, maybe on the truck drive tyres too, just cause they say their regroovable! 6mm below the wear strips apparently is as deep as 1 can go.
