Cutting Tires is an art and worth the Money, There is big difference from a Tire guy and a guy that does Tires, However If you cannot afford to get your tires cut and you try to somewhat mimic the process by sanding, DO NOT SAND A DRY TIRE, DO NOT OVER HEAT THEM, DO NOT USE TO ROUGH GRIT PAPER.
This is just the Basics for just which cut in general, The REAL SPEED is made with properly CURED TIRE, PREPPED PROPERLY with the RIGHT PREP, ALL YA then even IF you have it you gotta put it on at the right time.
