I got new tires for my old 245 at Discount Tire for $140 today. While there I read a little info card on tire siping. Siping is cutting thousands of tiny slits in the tread, and is purported to drastically enhance traction in snow, ice and wet weather.
I've heard other reports of the benefits of siping, but I'm such a cheapskate I didn't want to have it done. I guess I can have it done later, but at $10/tire I don't want to increase my cost that much. Heck, the tires were only $35 apiece installed, and $10 would kind of negate my savings.
Any personal knowledge of siping benefits?
