    Posted: 14 Apr 2016 at 7:19am
I'm getting ready to buy a new set of 23 degree tires, and I'm wondering what the best way to cut them is? Is there anybody in the southeast I can take them to and have professionally cut? My local tire shops won't do it. If not, how do y'all cut yours? What tools should I be looking for, and what cut should I aim for? They are 16.9-38, 23 degree tires on an antique pulling in first gear with a 3.5 mph speed limit. Thanks in advance!

You'll be disappointed with brand new tires---rubber too soft. Find old used tires that are worn down some and hard.

Saw this first hand, watched the cleat just bend back under hard pulling

Find some 23 degree worn ones?

Theres a product out there called a hot knife; it heats up and cuts thru the rubber, then theres the grinding wheels/ blades set up to do this on a 4 or 8 inch grinder; its a dirty job

 I wondered if an electric planer would work for top cutting the bar, if it works for you I will try it.

I've used an electric planer for years to shape the tops of the lugs. Consider a hospital visit if you going to use a chain saw !!! Good Lord.

Ok, do I would be best off with a hard tire? Also I'm running a 14 inch rim, would I be better off running a 15.5-38?

like pat' said it's better with the wider rim to let the center of the tire be  more flat so all the tire is working' not just the center of it.
