Tire grooving with my chainsaw

That's definitely different

Richard, I appreciate your skepticism. I believe I have responded to all of your skeptical posts very courteously and with good humor. I don't want this to be any exception.

I run chains on the front all winter on this tractor. Started doing it last year because the darned front tires wouldn't grip at all and I couldn't steer. Any comparison I make between grooved and non-grooved will include the front chains. They are not a variable, they are a constant

Furthermore, any compassion I make is purely anecdotal. I will by no means try to tell people grooving their tires will improve their traction. I will, however, relay my own experience with my grooved tires. You have relayed yours also, which I appreciate.

I am not trying to complete any "testing" for any purposes other than satisfying my own curiosity.

I'm totally not a skeptic. I'm a realist. I grooved a pair of tires. I tested them in every condition from ice to gooey mud. I was very open minded about it all. I believe you are too.

My responses are to claims of fantastic improvement that supersedes anything!!!!

Just saying, it's a very hard alteration to prove. Good or bad. We just all need to be realistic. I believe you are. Was simply teasing you with the chain comment, thus the smiley face. Maybe I should have used the "wink".

10-4 good buddy. Glad we have an understanding.

So did the grooving help, or did it not?

Here is a question - why does no one just make the R4's with the cuts as a factory tire?

I for one would be very interested in hearing your analysis of your chainsaw grooved tires..
