Custom Cut Tires
(Masher 2k Impressions)

Supplies Needed:
-Some V-Tread tires
-Wire Cutters
-Free Time

Step One:
Take your tires off of the rims (if mounted) if your tires are off already, skip step one.

Step Two:
Get your wire cutters, and tires. Now make put your cutters facing the tire, and make 4 cuts, leave about 1cm, or 10mm apart from each cut, then pinch your tire so you can put the pliers and hook them on the nub that should be cut off and snip it off, and do that with the other nub over too. (take a look at pro-line masher 2000 tires for an idea of what and where you should cut.

Step Three:
Repeat step two until every bar on the tire is cut like the first, be sure not to cut through the tire, if so, just take a little piece of rubber that you have already cut off and ca glue it on, and cut it down.

Step Four:
Mount your tires on your rims.

Performance:
I did this to a set of tires for my DuraTrax Max ST and have driven for about a year with these tires and have found they work on all surfaces. Work best on dirt and gravel and grass. They enhance overall handling by much!

Good luck!
