<< Wow. i am NEVER going to sipe my tires. i'm sorry for saying that it's a
 great thing. My tires are missing bits and chunks right now. i did 2
nice
 peel outs and the pieces or rubber are all disarrayed, and some CHUNKS of it
 are missing,. please consider this before you sipe your tires.

 handling.. >>

Sorry to hear your bad experience. My Dunlop Radial Rover RV's are siped and
with 30,000 miles on them currently and tons of tread left; they are wearing
great. Not really sure if they truely do help with traction, but I still like
the tires. I guess I cant complain since I paid $200 for 4 LT235's tires,
mounted, lifetime balance, lifetime rotation, etc. I still liked my Hoosier
Radial AT's better though(replace with 43,000 miles on them) I think the
stock Goodyear Wrangler AT's wore out at like 30,000 miles, BALD at that
mileage).
