The Tread Cutter is the first of a kind plier designed to cut tire treads and was developed specifically for MTB tires. The main benefit of the pliers is the cutting height adjustment slider, which enables cutting of each tread on the same height and therefore making the custom tire the most optimal.
Cutting tires produces more optimal riding. For example shortening centre treads on a mud tire, results for easier rolling. Or the transition lugs in the shoulder area can be trimmed, giving more free space, and making the tread more aggressive. Lugs that have been worn “round” can have a straight edge again.
