    Posted: 12 Jun 2010 at 10:36am
I have a chance to buy a used set of 15.5x38 tires cheap. They both still have a fair amout of tread, enough to pull with. Problem is one is a little newer and has more tread. I would like to cut it down to match the other. What is the easiest way to do this? Our rules wont allow "cut" tires, how do I make it look uncut? Thanks for any ideas, JM

someone gave me this idea and it worked well.  I put my tractor in reverse gear on some concrete and spun the tires backwards.  I used a chain hooked to my big work truck so it wouldn't move on me.  I would then hold the brake on the opposite side that I was trying to "cut" and the concrete would wear a nice edge on each lug.  This would work for you and it would not necessarily be a cut tire as it was road worn into shape.   Good luck.

Man, I like that idea! you're right, the concrete would produce a "wear" pattern that would appear worked, not cut

A new way to spin balance as well! Sorta!
What about the rubber build-up on the concrete?

I have been told you can buy a wheel to put on your 4in or 4 1/2 inch angle grinder to cut tires down. It is a messy job and you wouldn't be able to grind the leading edge but you could use that tool and then finish up on the barnyard cement in reverse.

Find a stretch of concrete road that isn't well traveled (or a NEW road) and drag the tractor with a 4X4 truck about 2 to 5 mph while spinning the wheels backwards.
