I doubt anybody can offer up any quantative proof one way or another on siping. My thought is, if its so good for traction, AND helps with tire life as they claim, why dont the tire manufacturers do it right from the git-go? I've always chosen to not have it done - and I havent ever had much of an issue with traction.

I bought mine from american tire and they had the tires sipped before I recived them. You can also buy your own kit and do it yourself.

because its a price added issue , bfg said they have no problem in a professional company doing it but if they did it , it would add much cost to the tire
