Anyone have a pattern for grooving/sipeing some wider 710s?
I have the resources to do it just need a pattern.
They would be used on the street, 335 and 275 x 17 Kumho 710s.

Think it would be ok just to copy this photo of a grooved R6?

let us know how this works out for you.
You obviously have way too much time on your hands. Are you sure there isn't a plane or two that could use your expert guidance?

Have you considered the Toyo R888 tires. The widest in 17" is only 315 so this may be an issue for you. The 18" do come in 335 width. I've been running these on my 2002 Carerra with no issues especially on wet surfaces. I'd bet they'd last a lot longer than a set of custom grooved R6 Hoosiers and a lot easier to replace, unless you really enjoy putting grooves in your tires. You're the one with all the time on his hands. Just a thought. Sorry there are no pictures with my post.

It's ok Dave, since retired pic posting is my concept.
