No it can be used for any type of grooving. There is different sized heads and blades for different size cuts. You can also do this when your tires get worn down to re-groove them and get some more miles out of them.

Badass bro! May need to invest in one of those now. On a side note your shop is making me jealous lol

Just be careful, these irons don't worry about the cords at all (like a hot knife through butter if you will), if you plan to give yourself an extra few miles on your tires make sure you don't go too deep. I hit the cords quite a few times on my tires, not worried though it's 100% bog truck.


I cut a pair of Boggers with an Ideal iron (same in video) with a no.12 head. It takes a while cutting that much material at one time, but it'll get the job done. But when I cut the good set that is on the truck I'm going to use a 2" chisel and fish cooker while only cutting the little lug out and not taking the whole tire down to the cords.

Yeah, it didn't take too long to cut two Boggers.

I have grooved 100+ Tractor-trailer tires and if you wanna do this yourself then buy an extra box of blades because you will kill them quick until you learn to use the groover. And on a side note it is illegal to groove a tire for street use unless it is clearly marked "regroovable" on the side. I have grooved many for my own vehicles illegally and have never had an issue but i also have never been checked so. . . just throwing that out there.
