    With a few threads around about re-groovable tires I did some research and looked at several tire manufacturers snow treads. I decided to take my Goodyear G647s to a local truck stop and discuss with them about regrooving my tires to give me a snow tread. This is what I ended up with.
    This is look of original tires.

    This is what we ended up with on rear tires.

    Those are great tires!
    By the way, what is the purpose of re-grooving the tire? What difference will it make? Sorry havan't tried that one on my tires yet... (?_?)

    Better traction in snow.
