I have not actually cut tires, but someone told me once to hook up to something bigger then my tractor and then spin the tires in reverse on concrete so sharpen the edge of the treads, holding each brake to run each side.  I have to say it worked pretty good and left a fairly decent sized pile of rubber shavings on the ground.  Whether it helped or not is a matter of opinion, but I thought I did pretty good.   The other thing that I was told to do which I haven't done yet is either widen the rims I have or get another set of rims that are wider and use the same set of tires.  The idea I guess is that it takes the same tire which is normally round and flattens out the tread pattern which gives better traction.

There is a wheel you can buy that fits a small angle grinder. I understand it is a messy job.

I have done all the above. Fastest is putting the tractor in reverse and use running water witha garden hose on the ground. I did some 24.5x32 rear tires with a Bosch planner and it worked Great !!!Took 9 hrs and shaved 51 lbs of rubber off in a 33 gallon garbage can. Used 2 gringing wheels for 1 big grinder to do the top cut and a small cup style grinder to do the front cut with a 4 inch grinder. Took about 7 hrs to do a set of 20.8x38 rears. Wow what a differance! The planner works the best. Use  carbide bits in the wood planner when doing it. I had a big house fan on my back blowing the smoke away and be preparred to get your shop very dirty. I had black ALL OVER THE SHOP. Ity is a tiring job but worth it in the end.
 
Take care and have fun, Darryl

I have a set of 11 x 28 tires that are already cut down and good wheels for a WD/WD45.  I would trade for a set of tires/wheels that are not cut down.  We can discuss $ to even up depending on condition of your tires/wheels. Michael 816 898 7277.

Rob, I would get the wheels from a company like Epperson Tire Cutting, or someone like that.  If you know of someone going to Louisville, they can buy them in the pits there.  There are coarse and finer wheels, depending upon how much you want to take off.  You can even get them custom cut, too.

By cutting the top of tire at a angle (lower in rear) and forward at top of lug from bottom on front side it puts all weight at very front edge of tire. Makes tire bit in like edge of shovel. Lowering the lug height Kepts lug from rolling backward, and you get some depth control.
