Les Schwab will be it for $100 plus an alignment.

I heard the OP say he was gonna get it done at Discount Tires for $48 for all four wheels ($12 a wheel).

48$ is a great deal cuz it is a pain in the butt. The tire will perform better at almost everything, we have been doing this in the 4x4 world for years. Speedway sells a non-heated for 35$? but if you are serious get the 100$ one with heat it will go through rubber like butter...IMO pay to have it done, I spent 4hrs on EACH 38.5x14.5x15 super swamper!!!!!!

Heated/not heated. Anyone care to describe the diff? Sounds like everyone loves this siping. I really have to get over to the local tire place over break and inquire.

Basically you want a machine to do it. Siping it your self is fine for off road use. but for our cars.. have a place like Discount, america,s sears, les swab. mount it on their machine and sipe the tire using the machine.

less swab is 25 per tire, so.

Ive had this done to a few of my cars and yes it dose make a diffrence, espcially on a civic I owned that came with some really cheap rubber. There are a few tires out there they say not to sipe however. They are the michelin symmetry, LTX M/S, Cross terrain, and of course snow tires due to the already extensive factory siping.

Heated would be one that you can plug into the wall and the heated razor slices very easy and the non-heated is just the razor and all elbo grease....I would have it done if it was under a 100$ for all 4 cuz it realy is a pain in the asssssss!
