Don’t buy new tyres, use this instead

I’ve seen a few paddock types making their own intermediates using something like that.

      Tread cutters are available on Ebay.

Laverda Dave:
Speedway riders used to re-cut the blocks on their tires between heats on the left hand side. Each block would have four straight cuts and these would wear down in a race as a result of broadsliding (as it was called back in the day). A good rider would make one 'edge' last for two races before turning the wheel around to use the other edge for the next two races. Being poor I used to buy second hand and well used tires at the Iwade training track for my bike because I was never good enough for a brand new tire😏.
All the above has changed now especially in SGP where a rider would only use a tire edge once, turn it round and then fit a new tire.
