Maximize Your Tire’s Traction by Adding Grooves and Sipes
If you race on dirt you know that track conditions change throughout race day and many will ask how to increase traction on tires. From a high grip surface that can be wet and slinging mud to a shiny black or even hard and dusty surface as the laps pile up and the sun goes down, tire traction can change dramatically.
What is tire siping and grooving? Well, grooving is just that, cutting grooves in the tread where you are removing rubber, while siping is where you make a thin cut (like a razor blade) but no material is actually removed.
Learning how to cut a tire with a tire groover and sipe your own tires is a bit of a black art, but a good racer will keep a logbook of modifications and can reflect on past track conditions to see what size groove and angle worked best previously.
Built Tough to Handle Any Tire
Grooving tires and siping tires on your dirt racer takes some effort, but the Ideal heated Knives 125 tire groover tool is built to take it. Ideal starts off with a robust heating element that outputs a consistent heat and housed it in a tough steel shell with chrome-plated steel tip.
The fiberglass-reinforced polymer handle keeps your hands safe from the extreme heat found at the head of the cutting tool. Ideal then added a fully grounded UL-listed power cord that is a generous 7-feet in length.
This tire cutting tool is designed to work with all Ideal Heated Knives and Speedway Motors brand tire grooving iron heads and blades that we carry. This kit includes a #4 head and matching #4 blades. Additional head and blade sizes are available.
Grooving and Siping Your Tires Could not be Easier
We carry a full lineup of cutting blades and heads (the heads and blades must match in size and used together) for the Ideal tire grooving iron. You will install the appropriate size head into the tool first, followed by the matching cutting blade.
Most racers will find having more sipes on the front tires and less on the rear is the best combination. Sipe spacing is also determined by the size cutting blades used, with the further apart the sipes the cooler the tire will run.

While grooving your tires takes some trial and error and an ability to read a track surface, in the end, grooving and tire siping dirt track racing tires with additional grooves and sipes is just another tool in a racer’s toolbox of tricks and tips to help them get to the front of the pack and stay there until the checkered flag drops.
