• Increase your traction on ice!
  Siping improves your traction on wet and icy roads. Let us show you how.
• Longer tire life!
  Siping allows a decrease in heat build up in many cases extending tire life.
• Sipe your tires for a softer ride!
  Siping can enhance your tires shock absorbing features.

Research has shown that the most effective braking power occurs immediately prior to losing traction. Siping extends the window allowed for maximum braking power by giving the existing tread a helping hand. In the examples above notice how the SIPED tire has dozens more gripping edges. These micro edges reduce the distance needed for braking on wet and icy roads.

The tread surface on your tire is made up of many smaller surfaces know as "Tread Blocks". The reason for so many surfaces is especially important when it comes to icy or wet road conditions. The Tread Blocks get their gripping power not from their many smooth surfaces but from the even more numerous sharp surrounding edges. SIPING improves the job started by your tire manufacturer by providing more of these gripping edges.

New asphalt is relatively smooth but, time and wear exaggerates the coarse texture of the roads surface causing your tires to absorb most of the impact. SIPING gives your tires a Micro-Flexibility reducing the wear on your tires carcass and sidewalls. This effect not only increases tire life but will result in a smoother ride.

Heat generation is a common cause of rapid tire wear and even tire failure. While this heat may be a natural result of friction the effect it has on your tire can be undesirable.

SIPING reduces the heat and its effect on your tire by allowing it to cool. As depicted in the illustrations above the SIPED tire runs cooler due to the heat dispersing effect of the SIPES themselves. Much like your cars radiator, heat is isolated into smaller groups and air passing between these areas cause a natural cooling effect.

How is SIPING done?
SIPING is done by placing your tires (new or used) on a specially designed machine that rotates your tires while making small virtually invisible 90 degree cuts in your tread. Don't be alarmed! Although the process is actually cutting your tread, it doesn't harm your tire in any way, it improves on it. Only under very close inspection can the SIPES even be seen, and you're more likely to tell by your improved driving experience than by visual inspection.

Will SIPING adversely affect my tires performance?
SIPING will not adversely affect your tires performance in any way. The tread on your tires retains all of its strength due to the patented spiral cutting process. This process leaves uncut areas know as Tie Bars keeping your tread strong.

SOUNDS GREAT, BUT WHY DON'T MY TIRES COME SIPED FROM THE MANUFACTURER?
Our SIPING process doesn't remove any rubber from the tread allowing the individual SIPES to support each other . A molded SIPE leaves vacant gaps in the tread. Siping creates edges without gaps.

To SIPE ( in mass production ) after the molding process would be to expensive and time consuming for the manufacturer.
