Re: tyre regroover
have seen it done with a chainsaw with a G clamp on the bar to control the depth
, but I'm weighing the cost's up whether to open up the centres on my KL71's with 15mm of tread or get an old set and have them retreaded with a 25mm deep Ag tread.

Re: tyre regroover
Yep...but remember that one is for very soft mx tyres where you dont need any pressure. My tg250 has a sharpened wire instead of a blade, and a pressure handle so you can put some weight into it. You need a bit of muscle for truck rubber. Although simexes (and I guess the kl71s too) arent as hard as the 16 rally tyres I did last time I used it...
